What began as a budding relationship between Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has presently blossomed into a full-blown best friendship, complete with strolls on the beach and handwritten notes.
Modi, who is the initial Indian prime minister to visit Israel, just spent three days touring the country while tweeting additional than 50 times about how much fun he was having with “my friend, Netanyahu.”
The two leaders laughed, hugged, shared a helicopter tour of Israel, appreciated some art and history, and again hugged again. All this culminated in a slow walk on Dor beach in Haifa today. The pair were there to discuss desalination (the process of turning seawater into potable water), but who knows what the two besties really talked about as they hiked up their pants and waded, smiling, into the Mediterranean Sea.
