Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 2017 visit to Israel is under scrutiny after newly released files suggest he sought advice from Jeffrey Epstein on the trip. An email from Epstein claims that Modi followed his suggestion to visit Israel to bolster ties with the United States, describing the visit as successful. The Indian Ministry of External Affairs has strongly rejected Epstein's claims, calling them baseless and dismissing them as the musings of a convicted criminal. The Prime Minister's Office has not issued a comment on the allegations, which surfaced after the release of millions of documents related to Epstein.
