PM Modi heads to Israel for maiden visit by Indian Premier

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be personally welcomed by his Israeli counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu when he lands in Tel Aviv today. This is the first time that an Indian Prime Minister has made a bilateral visit to Israel. 

PM Netanyahu himself has called Narendra Modi's visit a 'historic' one. 

PM Modi's visit to Israel does not include a stopover at the Palestinian Authority's headquarters in Ramallah. Many former diplomats have called this a pivotal change in India's position on the Israel-Palestine conflict.
