New Delhi: An opinion piece by prominent Israeli lawyer and human rights activist Eitay Mack, published in The Wire, has sharply criticized Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent visit to Israel, describing it as a “baffling and embarrassing” episode that humiliated India.
According to Global Mirror, from the outset, Mack questioned the timing of the visit—months ahead of elections in Israel and at a moment when most world leaders are avoiding visits to the country or meetings with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu due to growing international criticism over Israel’s brutality in Gaza and the ongoing ethnic cleansing in the West Bank.
“…..the first day of the visit exceeded anything one might have imagined from a trip by the leader of one of the world’s largest and most important countries. In fact, it stands out as one of the most baffling – and embarrassing – visits by a foreign leader to Israel in recent memory,” Mack wrote.
