Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi says he and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu discussed bilateral ties over the phone today, shortly after Netanyahu’s office announced that the two held a phone call today.
Modi says the two “reviewed progress in the India-Israel Strategic Partnership and agreed to further strengthen our cooperation,” in a post on his X account.
“Also reaffirmed our shared commitment to zero tolerance for terrorism. India supports all efforts aimed at achieving a just and durable peace in the region,” Modi concludes.
According to the Israeli readout, the two leaders agreed “to meet very soon,” though Modi does not make mention of any such arrangement.
