The visit marks the prime minister's second trip to Israel in his 10-year tenure as the Indian leader. PM Modi's last visit to Israel was in 2017.

PM Modi and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are set to hold a brief meeting, after which they will head to the Knesset for a special session.

PM Modi will become the first Indian leader to address the Israeli parliament. Modi's speech also comes after other foreign leaders such as US President Donald Trump and Argentine President Javier Milei addressed the Knesset. After this address, the leaders will head for a private dinner.

As per the statement released by the Ministry of External Affairs, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will meet his Israeli counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu and will also call on the President of Israel Isaac Herzog.

Modi and Netanyahu are set to review the significant progress made in India - Israel Strategic Partnership, and discuss further opportunities in various areas of cooperation, including science and technology, innovation, defence and security, agriculture, water management, trade and economy, and people to people exchanges.

“The leaders are also expected to exchange perspectives on regional and global issues of mutual interest,” the statement issued by the MEA adds further.

This visit to Tel Aviv aims to “reaffirm the deep and long-standing strategic partnership between the two countries and will present an opportunity to review the common challenges as well as realign efforts towards achieving their shared vision for a robust partnership between two resilient democracies.”

The Indian National Congress has criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Israel. Taking to X, leaders from the opposition party accused the Modi government of abandoning Palestinians.

"Israel’s dispossession and displacement of thousands of Palestinians in the occupied West Bank has intensified and drawn worldwide condemnation,' wrote Jairam Ramesh, the party's general secretary and spokesperson.

"Yet the Prime Minister is going to Israel tomorrow (where there is a Modani connection as well) to embrace his good friend Mr. Netanyahu - who faces very serious corruption charges. The Opposition in Israel is threatening to boycott Mr. Modi’s address to the Israeli Parliament to protest how Mr. Netanyahu is destroying the independence of the judiciary in Israel," he said, adding that the Modi government has made cynical and hypocritical statements in support of the Palestinians despite India being among the first countries to recognise the State of Palestine in 1988.

Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadhra also called on PM Modi to address the ongoing genocide in Gaza during his address at the Israeli parliament. Reacting sharply to the remarks, BJP national spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia hit back with a , "The Female Ghajini of Indian politics is back!" jibe.
