Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was scheduled to visit India in December. However, due to some reason this journey has been postponed for the time being. Israeli PM Office informed that talks are going on on new dates for Netanyahu’s visit to India.

PM Netanyahu’s visit has been postponed for the third time this year. Meanwhile, Israeli media and others claimed that this decision was taken due to security reasons. However, Israeli officials put an end to all these speculations. On behalf of the officials, it has been said that the Israeli Prime Minister has full confidence in the security of India under the leadership of PM Narendra Modi. His team is already discussing a new date for the India tour.

Netanyahu visited India in 2018

Let us tell you that before this the Israeli PM had visited India in 2018. However, relations between India and Israel have not always been as close as they were under the leadership of the Modi government. It is not that there was no partnership between the two countries. Partnership between the two countries in the defense sector has been going on for a long time.

How old are the relations between the two countries?

On May 14, 1948, a proposal was made in the United Nations to make Israel an independent country. Initially, the then Prime Minister of India Jawaharlal Nehru was not in favor of it, but within two years in 1950, he recognized Israel as an independent nation. Nevertheless, diplomatic relations were established between the two countries in 1992.

India supported Palestine. This is why it took so long to recognize Israel. However, the friendship between India and Israel in the field of defense is very old. Israel not only provided mortars and anti-mortar devices in the India-China war of 1962, but also provided military help to India in the Kargil war.

Morarji Desai government played an important role

Still, there was a deep gap between the two countries, to fill which Morarji Desai’s government took steps in 1977. The result was that the then Defense Minister of Israel secretly visited India. After this, in 1985, the then PM Rajiv Gandhi and Simon Peres met at UNGA.

In 1992, political relations were again established between the two countries under the leadership of the then PM Narasimha Rao. In 2000, the then Home Minister Lal Krishna Advani made the first high-level official visit to Israel from India. After this, for the first time in 2003, the then Foreign Minister of India Jaswant Singh reached Israel. In 2003 itself, the then Israeli PM Ariel Sharon visited India.

Narendra Modi went to Israel for the first time as PM, relations strengthened

Former President of India Pranab Mukherjee visited Israel in 2015. Till this time no Prime Minister of India had visited Israel. For the first time, Narendra Modi visited Israel as the Prime Minister of India. In 2017, the Prime Minister of India visited Israel for the first time after recognizing it as an independent country in 1950. Under the leadership of PM Modi, relations between the two countries have strengthened significantly.

Israel is India’s important partner in these areas

India and Israel are important partners in the fields of defence, agriculture, technology and energy. From 2020 to 2024, there have been many major partnerships in the defense sector between the two countries. Both the countries are also connected culturally. This is because Jews arrived in India about two thousand years ago. In the present times, trust between India and Israel has deepened further. India still supports Palestine, but on the other hand, stands firmly in Israel’s fight against terrorism. Israel has also been supporting India against terrorism.

Benjamin Netanyahu has appealed to the Israeli President for clemency to end the case against him and to declare him innocent. He requested to end the corruption case that has been going on for five years and said that this apology will be in public interest.

Netanyahu’s lawyer submitted a 111-page application

According to The Times of Israel, Isaac Herzog’s office acknowledged receiving the detailed 111-page document from the prime minister’s lawyer and said it had been sent to the Justice Ministry’s amnesty department. It further said that before Herzog takes a decision, the President’s legal advisors will also form an opinion.

A statement from his office said, “The Office of the President is aware that this is a huge request with huge implications. After receiving all the necessary opinions, the President will consider this request responsibly and honestly.”

Trump has also defended Netanyahu

In Israel, there is almost no case of the President granting pardon before sentencing. An example comes from 1986, when the accused in a corruption case related to a specific Shin Bet security service was pardoned without confessing his crime. This request has been made a few weeks after Donald Trump’s letter to Herzog. Trump had also asked the President to pardon Netanyahu.

Trial going on in these serious cases including corruption

Netanyahu is on trial for the last five years i.e. 2020 on charges of bribery, fraud and breaking the trust of the country. In these allegations, political favors have been allegedly claimed to be given to rich supporters in exchange for gifts or positive media coverage.

Netanyahu has been rejecting these allegations. He has been calling it a witch-hunt conducted by the media, police and judiciary. On the other hand, as soon as the news of this apology came to light, the opposition became vocal. Critics have accused him of prolonging the war in Gaza to keep his coalition together so he can remain in office and avoid legal threats.

In a short letter included in his legal filings and in a televised statement released on Sunday, Netanyahu argued that although he has a personal interest in proving his innocence in court, it is necessary to immediately end the trial in the ‘national interest.’

Taiwan has taken a big decision to strengthen its security. In view of the threat of a possible attack from China, the government has proposed an additional defense budget of US $ 40 billion. This money will be spent in the coming years to build a new and modern multi-layered air defense system T-Dome. This is the first time that Taiwan is bringing forward such a big security investment plan.

American pressure and increasing defense spending
This decision has come at a time when America is continuously demanding Taiwan to increase its defense budget. The Taiwan government has said that this special budget will be spent in phases between 2026 and 2033. President Lai Ching-te has already talked about taking defense spending to 5% of GDP. Currently, Taiwan has increased the defense budget for 2026 to $31.18 billion, which will bring the total defense expenditure to 3.3% of GDP. President Lai wrote in the Washington Post that the new budget will be mainly used to buy arms from America. According to Taiwan’s Defense Minister Wellington Ku, $40 billion is the upper limit of the budget and will be used for precision strike missiles, joint weapons development and military technology procurement.

What is T-Dome and how will it work?
This defense system was announced by President Lai on 10 October. He compared it with Israel’s famous Iron Dome, but said that its capacity would be much greater than that. According to defense experts, T-Dome will deal with many types of threats, not just small rockets. This system is being designed to stop attacks like Chinese fighter planes, ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, drones.

Super-network will be built by connecting to the existing defense system
Taiwan already has many important air defense systems-

• US Patriot PAC-3 missile system
• Indigenous Sky Bow and Tien Kung System

NASAMS system will be available soon
T-Dome will connect all these with modern radar, sensors and a command center to form a single defense network, which will be able to rapidly detect the threat and destroy it immediately.

T-Dome will have two main parts

According to national defense experts, in this system-

• Command and Control System – which will take data from all radars and sensors and decide which missile to fire at which threat.
• Interceptor layers- where missiles will be deployed at different heights and distances, so that every incoming missile or drone can be stopped.

Why did Taiwan find this system necessary?
Taiwan has learned from the Ukraine-Russia war that only a modern air defense system can save civilians, military and important places. Experts say that if Taiwan is able to stop China’s initial missile attacks, then Beijing will think twice before attacking. According to the report, China has the capability to fire hundreds of missiles in just three minutes from ships and land-based launchers deployed around Taiwan.

Israel’s ground action in Beit Jinn, a rural area of ​​​​Damascus, has put the entire area in panic. According to Syrian state media, at least 13 civilians were killed in this latest incursion, including two small children. More than 25 people have been injured.

The Syrian Foreign Ministry has reacted strongly to the Beit Jinn incident and termed it a war crime. Government agency SANA informed that many bodies were sent to Al-Salam Hospital in Golan, while Israeli drones are continuously hovering in the sky. Relief teams are also not being allowed to enter the village as the army is attacking any movement.

Local people claim

Speaking to international media, villagers said that Beit Jinn has always been an area of ​​ordinary farmers and herders. People say that there is no presence of Hezbollah or any other armed group here. Because of this, the Israeli infiltration that took place in the dark of night was very shocking for everyone.

Israel’s clarification

The Israeli army confirmed that six of its soldiers were injured in the operation in Beit Jinn, three of whom were reported to be in serious condition. The army said those considered a threat were killed or detained. Israeli media claims that during the operation the Israeli unit was surrounded by local fighters, after which helicopters, missiles and heavy artillery were used to evacuate the soldiers.

Saw the eyes of injured civilians

Iyad Daher, a civilian admitted to a hospital in Damascus, said that he was sleeping when suddenly he heard gunshots. When he came out, he saw Israeli soldiers and tanks standing all around. According to him, as soon as the army withdrew, firing started and the entire village was filled with smoke.

Claim of increasing Israeli interference in Syria

In the past year, Israel’s military presence in southern Syria and the Golan border has become more active than ever before. Reports say that Israeli forces are now openly entering the Syrian border and many civilians are being captured and taken to Israel. It was also revealed in the media that this time the reason for discussion is not the death of Syrians but the injuries of Israeli soldiers.

The atmosphere in Beit Jinn is very tense

After the infiltration, continuous firing is being heard in the area. Drones are flying overhead, the sounds of cannons are not stopping and hundreds of families are leaving the village in search of safety. The situation has become so tense that conflict can escalate at any time.

After the postponement of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to India, all kinds of speculations were being made. Some reports claimed that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has postponed his proposed visit to India due to security reasons. Israel has completely rejected all these claims on Tuesday (November 25, 2025).

Prime Minister Netanyahu himself has said that he has full confidence in India’s security arrangements and both sides are coordinating on the new dates of the visit. The Israeli Prime Minister’s Office has also made a post regarding this on the social media platform X. In the post, he said, ‘Israel’s relationship with India and the relationship between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Prime Minister Narendra Modi are very strong.’

The post said, ‘Prime Minister Netanyahu has full confidence in India’s security under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi and the team is already coordinating on the new visit date.’ A section of Israeli media had reported that Netanyahu was scheduled to visit New Delhi in December for his first official visit to India since 2018, but the visit has been postponed due to security concerns following the terrorist attack near Delhi’s Red Fort earlier this month.

Sources having knowledge of the entire matter told ‘PTI-Bhasha’ here that these reports are based only on ‘speculation’ and are ‘misleading’. He said efforts are being made to finalize mutually convenient dates for Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit.

According to reports, Benjamin Netanyahu was planning to visit India at the end of the year. However, this is the third time this year that he has canceled his tour of India. He last came to India in 2018. During this period, he stayed in India for six days from January 14 to January 19 and this was his second visit to India.

US President Donald Trump has confirmed that America will sell F-35 fighter aircraft to Saudi Arabia. He said that these jets will be similar to the planes that have been given to Israel. Saudi Arabia has formally requested to purchase 48 F-35 jets. Upon completion of this deal, Israel’s status as the ‘sole operator’ of the F-35 in the Middle East will end. At the same time, the news of Saudi Arabia getting F-35 fighter aircraft may also increase the concern for India. The reason for this is the defense agreement on which Pakistan and Saudi Arabia had earlier agreed and which was much discussed at the global level.

Will Pakistan benefit from Saudi’s F-35?
This big question is arising because under that defense agreement, an attack on Pakistan will be considered an attack on Saudi. In such a situation, the concern is whether Pakistan can get indirect benefits from Saudi’s advanced weapons, like F-35? America exports advanced aircraft like F-35 with very strict controls. It provides them only to trusted countries and this involves strict rules related to consent of other partner countries, security guarantees, training and maintenance. Therefore, experts believe that after giving F-35 to Saudi, America will consider it a big risk to allow them to be shared with any other country, especially Pakistan.

Trump said – both are our close partners
Trump, sitting with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in the Oval Office of the White House, was asked that when America follows the policy of maintaining Israel’s military advantage, then how was the decision taken to give F-35 to Saudi also?

Trump responded that both Israel and Saudi are America’s ‘close partners’. He jokingly told the Crown Prince that Israel wanted the Saudis to be given ‘less capable jets’, ‘but I don’t think you would have been happy with that.’ Trump further said- ‘According to me, both the countries should get the best technology. We are going to make a deal. Saudi will buy F-35.

Is the F-35 deal linked to Israel-Saudi normalization?
The media asked Trump whether this arms deal is related to the possible process of normalizing relations between Saudi Arabia and Israel? Trump avoided giving a direct answer and just said – ‘Israel knows about the deal and they will be very happy with it.’

MBS reached White House after seven years, received grand welcome
This was the first visit of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to the White House in the last seven years. He was given a grand welcome on the South Lawn with a military guard of honour, a gun salute and a flyover of American fighter planes.

Announcement to increase Saudi investment to 1 trillion dollars
During the meeting, MBS said that Saudi Arabia will increase its planned investment in America from $600 billion to $1 trillion. Trump immediately replied – ‘Okay, I liked it very much.’ When the Crown Prince was asked how such a large investment would be maintained despite low oil prices, he said that these deals – especially investments related to the semiconductor sector – are part of Saudi Arabia’s long-term development plans. Trump reiterated during the meeting that his mix of trade policies and diplomacy would result in $21 trillion in investment commitments by the end of the year.

At least 13 people have been killed in an Israeli airstrike near a Palestinian refugee camp in southern Lebanon. The country’s Health Ministry has confirmed this. Israel claimed that its targets were Hamas members, while Hamas has described these allegations as ‘lies and fabricated stories’.

Israel claims- ‘Hamas training camp targeted’
The Israeli Army (IDF) said that it targeted a ‘training compound’ of Hamas located in the Ein el-Hilweh area. According to him, this place was being used to plan and execute attacks on Israel. Hamas responded by saying that this claim is completely ‘fabricated’ and that they do not have any military bases in the Palestinian camps.

Treatment of injured continues, chaos in the camp
Lebanon’s Health Ministry said that apart from those who died, at least 4 people were injured. In the video that surfaced on social media, it was seen that ambulances were passing rapidly through the narrow streets of Ain al-Hilwe camp and a huge plume of smoke was rising from the area. According to reports, the attack took place outside a mosque, which is usually crowded with people at night.

What allegation did Hamas make?
Hamas condemned the attack, saying that the site targeted by Israel was actually an “open playground” and not a military base. The IDF says it used ‘precision weapons, aerial surveillance and additional intelligence’ to protect civilians from harm before the attack.

Israel-Hamas-Hezbollah conflict intensifies from 2023
On October 7, 2023, Hamas attacked southern Israel from Gaza, killing 1,200 people and taking 251 hostage. According to Gaza’s Hamas-administered Health Ministry, 69,169 Palestinians have died in Gaza so far in Israeli retaliation. The day after the Hamas attack, Lebanon-based Iran-backed organization Hezbollah fired rockets at Israel. After this, the conflict between the two continued for 13 months, which intensified with Israel’s heavy bombardment and ground action in October 2024.

heavy casualties in lebanon
Lebanese officials say that about 4,000 people died in the conflict in the country, including a large number of civilians. Apart from this, more than 12 lakh people were forced to leave their homes. Israel claims that 80 soldiers and 47 civilians from its side were killed in these attacks.

Israeli bombing has turned Gaza into ruins. Despite this, some buildings are still standing in northern Gaza, but they look like bones sticking out of the ground. Let us tell you that last week the Israeli Army (IDF) gave AP photographers and other journalists a chance to roam on the eastern edge of Gaza City.

This area is now completely destroyed. The Israeli army says that this was the headquarters of Hamas fighters. They tried to destroy buildings and roads. Let us tell you that this locality named Shijaiya is near an Israeli kibbutz, the same place was attacked by Hamas on 7 October 2023. After which the Israel-Gaza war started and continued for a long time.

‘We want Hamas to never return here’
Apart from Shijaiya, the Israeli army has also done the same to Southern Rafah and Khan Yunis. Army spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Nadav Shoshani told journalists that in these areas we have to ensure that they become terror-free areas and that Hamas never returns here. He said that if an area is a terrorist structure, then construction work cannot be done there again. He says that if there is a 100 meter deep tunnel under the house, then construction at that place is impossible.

United Nations and human rights organizations concerned
Shoshani also told that recently Hamas fighters were trying to install new weapons in this area. During the two-hour visit, no human being was seen, except Israeli soldiers. Let us tell you that most of Shijaiya has become like a desert. Roads are missing, pieces of houses are scattered. The United Nations and human rights organizations are concerned about all this. He says that lakhs of people have become homeless.

On Thursday (6 November 2025), Israel once again attacked Hezbollah targets in Lebanon. The Israeli Defense Force (IDF) confirmed the airstrike against Hezbollah by posting on Twitter.

Israeli attack on Hezbollah targets

According to information shared by the IDF, they have targeted Hezbollah positions. These bases of Hezbollah were destroyed last year. However, again these same bases were being used to manufacture equipment. Israel says that by doing this the ceasefire is being violated.

According to Israeli media, Hamas handed over the coffin containing the remains of Israeli Staff Sergeant Itay Chen to the IDF on Tuesday (November 4, 2025) night. He was the last dead hostage of American citizenship in the Gaza Strip.

‘Will not allow Hezbollah to become powerful’

Israeli government spokesman Shosh Bedrosian said Thursday, “We will not allow Hezbollah to re-arm, to organize, to increase its strength to threaten Israel.” The attack came as Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam and his government were meeting in Beirut to hammer out a plan to disarm Hezbollah and other non-governmental armed groups in the country.

Hezbollah’s letter to Lebanese authorities

On the other hand, Hezbollah has written a letter to the top officials of Lebanon. In this letter, Hezbollah has urged to force Israel to follow the rules of ceasefire instead of negotiating. Hezbollah has written this letter to the Prime Minister, President and Speaker of Parliament.

Hezbollah has said that the government’s hasty decision regarding the arms monopoly has given Israel an opportunity to take advantage of the situation. The issue of weapons should be discussed within the country. Should not have succumbed to Israeli or any other foreign demands regarding weapons.

Under the ceasefire plan presented by US President Trump, not only the release of hostages and prisoners but also the surrender of arms was agreed upon. The important issue in this entire peace plan was to lay down arms. Israel says that if weapons are not removed from these groups, the attacks will start again.
