While the greetings are appreciated, I hope our foreign policy remains balanced and prioritizes our national interests above all. The "shared values" mention is interesting, but our contexts are very different.

The Gateway of India backdrop for the wish was a lovely touch! Shows they understand the iconic places. The India-Israel relationship seems to be a strategic partnership that works well for both.

"From Dominion to Republic" – that phrase hits differently. It's a reminder of how far we've come. Proud of our democracy and sovereignty. Glad to see it acknowledged.

Good to see the celebrations in Tel Aviv too! The Indian diaspora everywhere makes us proud. The partnership in agriculture and water tech with Israel has been a game-changer for our farmers.
