NEW DELHI: External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar will visit Israel next week for the first high-level engagement between the Modi government and the new Naftali Bennett dispensation in Israel.
Jaishankar will hold talks with his counterpart Yair Lapid, who is the alternative prime minister and foreign minister in the new coalition government that came together after Israel went through about five elections in just over two years. Lapid, head of the Yesh Atid party, is scheduled to take over the rotating premiership from Bennett in 2023.
Israel’s foreign secretary Alon Ushpiz, took to Twitter to welcome Jaishankar. “Shubho Bijoya/Happy Dussehra to all of you, on the eve of @DrSJaishankar’s important visit to Israel. India is a strategic partner and a very close friend.”
