Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived in Israel on Wednesday for a two-day state visit at the invitation of PM Benjamin Netanyahu. Upon landing at Ben Gurion International Airport, Modi held an "excellent" bilateral meeting with Netanyahu, calling it "a delight to be back in Israel after 9 years." Discussions covered technology, water management, agriculture, talent partnerships, and regional developments. Modi later addressed the Knesset, Israel's parliament marking a significant diplomatic milestone. An upgraded security pact and a potential free trade agreement headline the agenda. On Thursday, Modi will visit Holocaust memorial Yad Vashem and hold delegation-level talks before departing for Delhi.
