Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to visit Israel in February 2026 to enhance the strategic partnership between the two nations. Israeli Ambassador to India Reuven Azar confirmed that an official invitation has been extended and preparations are underway.

The visit follows high-level discussions reaffirming the commitment to the India-Israel Strategic Partnership, and may include a stop in Central Asia to reflect India's broader strategic role. Key topics will include the Gaza Peace Plan and regional stability, with Modi expected to engage with Israeli and potentially other leaders.

The bilateral relationship has progressed significantly in 2025, highlighted by a new investment treaty and security agreements. Areas of collaboration include expanding a USD 40 million Industrial R&D Fund and strengthening defense coordination. This visit will be Modi's first to Israel since his 2017 trip.
