Foreign Minister Eli Cohen meets with his Indian counterpart Subrahmanyam Jaishankar in New Delhi, where they discuss an emerging rail and port network from India to Israel through the Persian Gulf and Saudi Arabia.
Senior US officials discussed the idea — an answer to China’s Belt and Road initiative — with the Saudi, Indian, and Emirati national security advisers earlier this week.
They two also discuss a range of measures designed to bring the two states even closer, including more direct flights and easing the visa process.
The diplomats sign an agreement to bring some 42,000 Indian foreign workers to Israel, some 34,000 in construction and 8,000 in elder care.
Cohen and Jaishankar visit a monument in Delhi commemorating the Indian soldiers who fell in Palestine fighting the Ottomans in World War I.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
