Modi’s visit isn't just diplomacy, it’s the final "diplomatic cover" for an attack on Iran. The market is watching the wrong clock
As tensions with Iran reach a boiling point and a reported 48-hour deadline looms, one overlooked factor is dominating quiet diplomatic calculations in Jerusalem and Washington: Narendra Modi.
The Indian Prime Minister lands in Tel Aviv today, for a two-day state visit, his second to Israel. He will meet Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, address the Knesset plenum at 4:30 PM local time, and visit Yad Vashem on February 26.
Modi represents 1.4 billion people and the world’s fifth-largest economy. Netanyahu has publicly framed the visit as part of building a “hexagon of alliances” - a strategic network of moderate powers to counter radical axes led by Iran.
