Bibi ‘Disappointed’ By Indian PM’s Rejection of Al-Quds Decision
Local Editor
‘Israeli' Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday he was "disappointed" by India's refusal to back recognition of al-Quds as the Zionist entity's ‘capital' but would not let it spoil his visit to India.
Netanyahu arrived in India Sunday at the head of the biggest business delegation he has taken on a foreign visit.
He told the India Today media group, in an interview released Monday, that he has a "special relationship" with his counterpart Narendra Modi.
But the run-up was clouded by India joining more than 100 countries at the United Nations in voting last month to condemn Washington's recognition of al-Quds as the Zionist regime's capital.
"Naturally I am disappointed but I think this visit is a testament to the fact that our relationship is moving forward on so many fronts," Netanyahu said in the interview.
Ahead of the visit, India also canceled a $500 million deal for ‘Israeli' Spike anti-tank missiles.
The Zionist entity exports an average of $1 billion of military equipment each year to India, but Modi wants to end India's status as the world's top military importer.
Not to mention, Netanyahu is the first ‘Israeli' leader to visit India in 15 years.
