JERUSALEM: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has described India as a “huge power” where there is “an absolutely crazy love for Israel” despite what he called efforts to delegitimise the Jewish state elsewhere.
Speaking at a leadership programme in the Jordan Valley on Thursday, Netanyahu further cited India as a key example of Israel’s expanding international partnerships, as he discussed Israel’s international relationships and efforts to broaden its diplomatic partnerships.
The remarks came amid a fragile geopolitical situation in West Asia, with Israel facing security challenges on multiple fronts and seeking to strengthen ties with partners beyond its traditional allies.
