Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is enthusiastically greeted by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at Ben Gurion Airport, after arriving for a two-day official visit to Israel.
Netanyahu and his wife, Sara Netanyahu, greet Modi after he descends his plane. All three are seen embracing and laughing on a huge red carpet as trumpets blast in the background.
“Welcome, my friend,” Netanyahu is heard saying to his counterpart, before the two stand for the Israeli national anthem, flanked by numerous military personnel.
Netanyahu and Modi are slated to hold a private meeting at the airport before continuing to Jerusalem, where Modi will deliver a speech in the Knesset this afternoon.
