Prime Minister Netanyahu said at this morning’s cabinet meeting that he opened the session by referring to the historic visit scheduled for Wednesday, when his “dear friend,” Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, will arrive in Israel.
Netanyahu said the relationship between Israel and India is a deep strategic alliance between two powers that share a common vision.
Netanyahu said Israel is seeking to build a network as a “hexagon of alliances” involving India, Arab states, African countries, Mediterranean partners such as Greece and Cyprus, and additional Asian nations. He said the goal is to counter radical Shiite and Sunni blocs in the Middle East.
“We are not waiting for the future; we are building it in the present,” Netanyahu said.
