Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday congratulated Benjamin Netanyahu for his success in the Israeli general elections and said he looks forward to continuing their joint efforts to deepen the India-Israel strategic partnership.
With roughly 70% of votes counted, Netanyahu's conservative Likud and its likely religious and far-right allies were on pace to control a majority in parliament.
Under Narendra Modi, the country is looking more like Israel. The real tragedy is that a large chunk of the majority is delighted about this metamorphosis.
