After her engagements in Palestine, Swaraj will head back to Israel for her two-day visit there during which she will hold discussions with the top Israeli leadership to review a whole range of areas of cooperation between the two countries. Many in Israel see Swaraj’s visit as a “build up” to amuch-anticipated visit by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the region. Netanyahu and Rivlin are also expected to visit India after having received invitations from Mukherjee in October during his visit.
