‘It’s called the Modi Hug’: PM Netanyahu highlights warmth of India-Israel ties at Knesset

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday playfully referenced the widely known “Modi Hug” as he addressed the Knesset during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit. “Earlier today, my wife Sara and I greeted you at the airport. And just as you came down the steps, we embraced each other. Because Prime Minister Modi’s personal embrace is something special, it’s called the ‘Modi Hug’. It’s well known around the world,” Netanyahu said to applause in the chamber.
