Namaste Shalom: Modi Visit Leads Israeli Front Pages
Hyderabad: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is on a visit to Israel to enhance bilateral defence and trade cooperation. The visit has drawn strong attention in Israeli media. Notably, the country’s leading newspaper, The Jerusalem Post, carried the story on its front page with a striking headline that read “Namaste” in Hindi and “Shalom” in Hebrew.
The word “Shalom” means peace in Hebrew. It is also used as a greeting. Therefore, the headline blended cultural symbols from both nations. Meanwhile, the front page featured a photo of Modi greeting. The coverage highlighted the growing ties between India and Israel.
Israeli Media Highlights Modi Visit and Bilateral Ties
The editor in chief of The Jerusalem Post, Zvika Klein, shared the front page of Wednesday’s edition on her X account. She also posted updates related to India Israel relations. As a result, the coverage quickly gained wider attention online.
Modi is scheduled to land in Israel at 4 pm Indian time. He first visited the country in 2017. However, this visit carries added significance. He will address the Knesset, Israel’s parliament. No Indian Prime Minister has ever addressed the parliament there before. Therefore, the address marks a historic moment in diplomatic ties.
Gaza Situation and Indian Diaspora in Focus
During the visit, the two prime ministers will discuss the situation in Gaza. They will also talk about several issues related to West Asia. In addition, defence and trade cooperation remain key points on the agenda.
There are 41,000 Indian expatriates in Israel. Modi is likely to interact with them during the visit. Meanwhile, the focus remains on strengthening strategic ties and expanding cooperation between the two nations.
The strong media coverage, especially the front page headline in The Jerusalem Post, reflects the importance of the visit. It also underlines the growing partnership between India and Israel.
