Tel Aviv buzzed with excitement as Prime Minister Narendra Modi dominated social media trends during his two-day visit to Israel. From the airport to the Knesset and beyond, Modi’s name stayed at the top of X’s trending list for hours, reflecting the immense enthusiasm among Israelis.
Modi arrived on Wednesday, greeted with displays of Indian culture at every turn. The warmth peaked on Thursday when his visit and related topics flooded online conversations. This surge underscores Israel’s keen interest in strengthening ties with India under Modi’s leadership.
A key highlight was the palpable chemistry between Modi and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. At Ben Gurion Airport, Netanyahu, alongside his wife Sara, welcomed Modi with light-hearted banter about outfits and pocket squares, setting a friendly tone. Their private chat reinforced their bond as true friends.
In his Knesset address, Netanyahu elevated Modi from friend to brother, recounting special moments and marveling at their achievements: doubled trade, tripled cooperation, and quadrupled understanding. He praised Modi as a great friend and leader. Later, at a state dinner in Modi’s honor, Netanyahu donned traditional Indian attire, symbolizing the deep, unbreakable India-Israel partnership.
This viral social media frenzy is no coincidence. It mirrors the genuine affection and strategic alignment between the two nations, promising even stronger collaboration ahead.
