Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praises India for its support, describing it as a “huge power” and saying there is “an absolutely crazy love for Israel.” Speaking at a leadership programme in the Jordan Valley, Netanyahu highlights India as an example of Israel’s growing partnerships beyond its traditional allies. He frames his comments against what he characterizes as international efforts to delegitimize the Jewish state, contrasting India’s stance with broader global criticism. A video released by Israel’s Government Press Office records Netanyahu linking the relationship to Israel’s diplomatic outreach and alliance-building. Both accounts say Netanyahu presents India as standing with Israel at a time when Israel faces a fragile geopolitical environment in West Asia and security challenges on multiple fronts. The reports emphasize that Netanyahu’s remarks are intended to underscore the depth of Israel–India ties and Israel’s effort to expand its diplomatic relationships. (Some portions of the Business Standard article are truncated in the provided text, but both sources agree on the main thrust of the remarks.)
