‘Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has arrived in Tel Aviv on a three-day visit, becoming the first Indian premier to travel to the occupied territories.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu welcomed Modi with an official ceremony at Ben Gurion airport near Tel Aviv on Tuesday.
In brief speeches, the two premiers pledged to work together on issues including security, agriculture and energy. The two sides are expected to strike military and cyber security deals.
