Mumbai, Feb 26

Taking some time off from his busy schedule during his Israel visit, Prime Minister Narendra Modi met the cast and crew of the popular Israeli show, "Fauda".

Not just that, PM Modi also posed for a selfie with the stars of the popular Netflix series on the second day of his visit to Israel.

Publishing the selfie on his official X (Previously known as Twitter) handle, the PM quipped in the caption, "Thankfully, this interaction required only a selfie, no undercover work! (sic)"

The picture showed the Prime Minister posing with 'Fauda' creators Lior Raz and Avi Issacharoff, along with cast members Laetitia Eido, Doron Ben-David, and many other members of the team.

Reacting to the post, Lior penned the comment, "Thank you prime minister it was an huge honor for us 🇮🇳 🇮🇱 (sic)."

Moreover, netizens also flooded the comment section with lovely remarks.

One of the Instagram users wrote, "Love this light-hearted moment! A selfie says more than any undercover mission ever could. Great to see such warm cultural ties blooming. #Fauda."

Another one penned, "When politics meets pop culture. Great to see such warm interactions beyond borders."

The third comment read, "When reel life meets real life. A selfie is definitely easier than undercover ops! Great to see cultural connections and storytelling bringing people together. #Fauda."

"Fauda" is believed to be loosely based on the experiences of the Israel Defence Forces (IDF).

The show revolves around a team of elite Israeli undercover agents as they work to apprehend Palestinian militants.

The 4-season series with 12 episodes in every season stars Lior Raz, Itzik Cohen, Hisham Suliman, Shadi Mar'i, Laëtitia Eïdo, Yuval Segal, Netta Garty, Tomer Kapon, Tsahi Halevi, and Yaakov Zada Daniel in prominent roles, along with others.

"Fauda" enjoys a massive fan base in India as well. The spy-thriller series was even remade in Hindi with the name "Tanaav" back in 2022.

While the selfie is fun, I hope such diplomatic visits focus more on substantive issues like technology transfer, defense cooperation, and water management agreements that actually benefit our citizens. Soft power is good, but hard results matter more.

Fauda fan here! This is epic. The caption is witty – "no undercover work" 😂. Great to see India-Israel relations being strengthened not just at government level but through cultural connections too. Tanaav was decent, but the original is something else!

Interesting to see this. As someone who follows international relations, these informal interactions often pave the way for stronger bilateral ties. The shared love for a gripping thriller series can be a great common ground.

Yaar, the meme potential of this photo is huge! "Modi on a Fauda-style undercover mission" 😄. On a serious note, it's a smart move. Pop culture diplomacy resonates with the youth. More of this, please!

As an Indian, I enjoy Fauda for its thriller elements. But we must remember it's a show from one perspective. While the selfie is a fun moment, I hope our foreign policy remains balanced and sensitive to the complex realities of the region.
