Parliamentary panel questions timing of PM Modi’s Israel visit amid regional tensions
The article raises concerns about the PM's visit timing amidst regional tensions and potential harm to citizens.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to visit Israel on February 25th, his first trip in nine years. The visit comes amidst escalating tensions and a U.S. military build-up in the region, prompting concerns from members of Parliament's Standing Committee on External Affairs. The committee questioned the timing of the visit, given India's advisory urging citizens to leave Iran amid fears of a potential U.S. strike. Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri assured the committee that all Prime Ministerial visits are planned with security considerations in mind but did not clarify whether the trip would be cancelled if tensions escalate further.
