Prime Minister Narendra Modi extended greetings to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the people of Israel and the Jewish community across the world on the occasion of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, in a message that reflected the warmth that has come to characterise the India-Israel relationship in recent years.
In a social media post marking the occasion, Modi expressed hope for a new year filled with peace, good health and continued progress for everyone, a message consistent with the goodwill exchanges the two leaders have regularly extended to each other on significant occasions. Rosh Hashanah, observed by Jewish communities worldwide, marks the beginning of the Hebrew calendar year and is traditionally a time for reflection, renewal and wishes for prosperity in the year ahead.
The greeting comes amid a broader pattern of sustained diplomatic engagement between India and Israel, two countries that have built an increasingly close strategic partnership across defence, technology, agriculture and trade over the past decade. Modi’s message adds to a series of such exchanges between the two leaders, who have periodically used social media to mark religious and cultural occasions of significance to each other’s countries, a practice that has become something of a fixture in the broader India-Israel relationship.
