“Received a phone call from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. We reviewed progress on various aspects of the India-Israel Special Strategic Partnership which continues to grow from strength-to-strength,”Modi said on social media.

“We also exchanged views on the current situation in West Asia,” he said without giving details.

An Indian government readout said Modi and Netanyahu “reaffirmed their commitment to further strengthening the bilateral cooperation across various sectors for the mutual benefit of the two countries”.

Recent developments in West Asia figured in the phone call, the readout said without going into details. The two leaders agreed to remain in touch.

Modi had visited Israel two days before attacks by the US and Israel on Iran triggered the conflict in West Asia. India has urged the parties involved in the conflict to return to dialogue and diplomacy to find a lasting solution. The Indian side has also backed the two-state solution.
