The unraveling of the fragile Israeli coalition presents an opportunity for opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s longest-serving premier, to return to power.
The visit, from 3-5 April, will be Bennett's first as PM and would take place on the occasion of the commemoration of 30 years of diplomatic relations between the two countries.
Israel police used NSO Group’s Pegasus spyware to allegedly snoop on its own citizens, said a Calcalist report. An SC-appointed panel is probing similar allegations in India.
Modi and Bennett met on the sidelines of the COP26 Summit. Last month during his visit to Israel, Jaishankar had extended an invitation to the Israeli PM to visit India.
Jaishankar, who is on a visit to Israel, conveyed PM Modi's greetings to the Israeli leader and invited him to make his first official visit to India since taking the office in June.
EAM Jaishankar Wednesday called on the two leaders separately to exchange views on mutual regional and global issues besides enhancing the bilateral ties between India and Israel.
Over a three-day visit, Jaishankar will meet the new PM as well the country's foreign minister and national security adviser, among other top members of Israel's coalition govt.
French President telephoned Bennett Thursday and asked him to ensure that 'the issue was being taken seriously' after reports about Pegasus spyware misuse in France emerged.
The air raids, the first since a ceasefire ended an 11-day conflict last month, poses an early test to PM Naftali Bennett, who took power in Israel just three days ago.
Former ally of Benjamin Netanyahu, Naftali Bennett vows to block Palestinian statehood, supported annexing 60% of West Bank & once espoused 'shoot to kill' policy on Gaza border.
Voters in Bihar don’t want dynastic politics, minority politics, or caste politics—all dead ducks flogged by the Congress Party in its regressive, divisionary, divisive game.
Without a Congress revival, there can be no challenge to the BJP pan-nationally. Modi’s party is growing, and almost entirely at the cost of the Congress.
