Why this matters

This visit, particularly his address to the Knesset and visit to a Holocaust memorial, underscores the deepening diplomatic and cultural relationship. It signals a shift in India's foreign policy, traditionally more aligned with Palestine, towards a more balanced approach with Israel.
