Netanyahu praises India in response to JD Vance's 'US only powerful Israeli ally' jibe| Trump| Iran

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that Israel enjoys “tremendous” support in India, responding to US Vice President JD Vance, who had described the United States as Israel's “only powerful ally.” In an interview with Fox News, Netanyahu pointed to India's strong public backing, saying he receives overwhelming support from Indians on social media. His remarks come amid the close and growing strategic partnership between India and Israel. Earlier this year, Netanyahu described Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a "personal friend" and called India a "global power." Modi had also reaffirmed India's support for Israel during his state visit earlier this year, just days before the Israel-US military action against Iran escalated into a wider regional conflict.
