Indian PM Modi, Israel Visit: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to visit Israel on February 25-26, 2026, marking his second trip to the country since 2017. The visit aims to enhance bilateral relations in trade, security cooperation, and technology innovation, according to informed sources.

This trip follows Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s canceled visits to India last year. Modi’s visit, which has not been officially announced by India, was confirmed by Netanyahu during a speech to the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations.

Netanyahu highlighted the significance of the alliance, noting India’s population of 1.4 billion and its global influence. Modi’s agenda includes addressing the Israeli Knesset and discussing trade, defense, and counter-terrorism with Netanyahu.

The visit builds on the historical context of Modi’s 2017 visit, the first by an Indian premier to Israel, and Netanyahu’s subsequent visit to India in 2018. High-level exchanges have been frequent, with ongoing negotiations for a trade deal.

Looking ahead, the discussions are expected to explore new avenues for cooperation, particularly in technology and innovation, solidifying a strategic partnership between the two nations.
