A parliamentary panel led by Shashi Tharoor has questioned the timing of the trip, highlighting the sensitive regional climate.
The visit is set to include an address to the Knesset and meetings with Israeli leaders. While government officials maintain that security assessments guide all foreign engagements, critics argue that the symbolism of such a visit during a volatile period carries significant diplomatic implications.
With discussions expected on defence cooperation, regional partnerships, and India's broader strategic positioning, the trip could have lasting implications for New Delhi's approach to West Asia and its delicate balance of relationships in the region.
