Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is visiting Israel for a two-day visit, his first since the war in Gaza began.

Axar.az informs, citing BBC, Modi is expected to address Israel's parliament, the Knesset, and hold meetings with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Isaac Herzog.

There is no meeting with Palestinian leaders on his schedule.

The visit comes as both countries look to strengthen ties in defence, technology and trade - a relationship that has grown significantly since Modi came to power more than a decade ago.

Analysts, however, say the visit will also test India's foreign policy as it tries to balance its ties with Israel and other Middle Eastern countries.
