It's good to see strong diplomatic ties. The 'Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam' initiative getting international support is a lovely touch. Hope the economic agreements translate into real job creation and technology transfer for Indian youth.

While strengthening ties with Israel is strategically important for defence and tech, we must ensure our foreign policy remains balanced. Our historical support for Palestinian rights should not be forgotten. The agreements should benefit our national interest first and foremost.

The personal welcome by Netanyahu shows the respect India commands today. Feeling proud! The security agreements are crucial. Hope we get access to advanced drone and cyber security tech to protect our borders.

Fruitful talks are good, but the real test is implementation. We've signed many MOUs in the past. Let's see how quickly these agreements on startups and innovation actually help Indian entrepreneurs on the ground. The proof will be in the pudding.

Israel's expertise in water management and drip irrigation is legendary. If the agreements include knowledge sharing in these areas, it can be a game-changer for our farmers, especially in drought-prone regions. That would be a true 'fruitful' outcome.
