Are you wondering who got Israel’s top parliamentary honour? It is none other than Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Prime Minister Modi recently became the first Indian leader to receive Israel’s top parliamentary honour, the ‘Order of the State of Israel’. This prestigious award is given to non-Israelis who have made significant contributions to the country’s development.
What is the ‘Order of the State of Israel’?
The ‘Order of the State of Israel’ is a high honour given by the Israeli government to individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the country’s development. It is considered one of the highest civilian honours in Israel.
Prime Minister Modi received this honour in recognition of his efforts to strengthen India-Israel ties. He has played a key role in boosting bilateral relations between the two countries, particularly in the fields of defence, technology, and trade.
The award was presented to Prime Minister Modi by the Israeli President Isaac Herzog in a ceremony held in Jerusalem.
Prime Minister Modi’s visit to Israel in 2017 marked a significant turning point in India-Israel relations. He was the first Indian Prime Minister to visit Israel, and since then, the two countries have strengthened their ties in various areas.
This honour is not only a recognition of Prime Minister Modi’s efforts but also reflects the growing importance of India-Israel relations.
