Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced plans for a strategic “Hexagon of Alliances” just days before PM Narendra Modi’s State visit to Israel on February 25-26, 2026. The proposed bloc aims to counter what Netanyahu described as “radical Shia and emerging radical Sunni axes,” positioning India as a key partner alongside Israel, Greece and Cyprus, with other Arab, African and Asian states expected to join. The alliance seeks enhanced cooperation on security, diplomacy and regional stability amid rising tensions with Iran and shifting Middle East dynamics. Modi will discuss mutual regional and global interests during the visit. (PC: PTI)
