Israeli Pm  

In the recent election, Benjamin Netanyahu failed to form a government. With this, the PM Office said that he would forgo his 74th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) session due to the current "political circumstances."

Netanyahu is facing a tough political challenge as opinion polls show flagging fortunes for his ruling Likud party. Analysts believe that the meeting with PM Modi is meant to prop up his campaign right before the polls. Netanyahu visited India in January 2018. 

The BJP is all set for a clean sweep in the recently-contested Lok Sabha election. From Israeli PM to Afghanistan President, leaders have taken to social media to heap congratulatory praise over Modi.

The personal chemistry between the two leaders has been widely discussed in the media in both India and Israel.
