- Netanyahu thanked Modi in an X post following their phone call, writing: "Thank you, my friend, Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi. Together we continue to strengthen the bond between Israel and India."
- Modi confirmed the call on X, stating the two leaders reviewed progress across various aspects of the India-Israel Special Strategic Partnership and exchanged views on the current situation in West Asia
- India's Prime Minister's Office said the leaders reviewed sustained progress under the partnership and reaffirmed commitment to further strengthening bilateral cooperation across multiple sectors for mutual benefit
- The two leaders discussed the evolving situation in West Asia and recent regional developments, though the PMO disclosed no further details and said they agreed to remain in touch
- India and Israel maintain close cooperation in defence, agriculture, innovation, technology, water management, cybersecurity, and trade
- The call underscores continued high-level diplomatic engagement between New Delhi and Tel Aviv as both sides monitor wider regional security developments
Why it matters: The public exchange signals continuity in India-Israel ties across defense, technology, and trade at a moment of active security flux in West Asia; with cooperation spanning at least seven named sectors, the leaders' decision to publicly reaffirm the partnership through social media reinforces bilateral signaling to regional stakeholders without committing to new policy.
