PM Modi, Netanyahu reaffirm India-Israel commitment on bilateral cooperation

In recent developments involving Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India and Israel have reaffirmed their commitment to bilateral cooperation. On August 6, 2026, PM Modi and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held discussions to strengthen their bilateral ties. This comes alongside a government disclosure to Parliament that ₹557.51 crore has been spent on PM Modi's visits to 77 countries since 2021, resulting in 316 agreements across key sectors. On domestic policy, PM Modi marked the anniversary of the August 5, 2019 abrogation of Article 370, describing it as a "decisive new chapter" that bifurcated the former state of Jammu and Kashmir into two Union territories.

Meanwhile, significant friction has emerged between political figures and social media giant Meta. A parliamentary panel warned Meta's Mark Zuckerberg to apologize within three days or risk losing immunity after a Facebook reel by PM Modi addressing youth and paper leak measures was temporarily restricted. Meta's Chief Global Officer Joel Kaplan subsequently apologized to Union IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, attributing the restriction to an error. In a related development, opposition leader Arvind Kejriwal claimed his own Instagram account was restricted in India, accusing Meta of bowing down to PM Modi and providing poor service.

Additionally, activist Sonam Wangchuk addressed a controversy regarding remarks about PM Modi. While stating he does not approve of abusive language, Wangchuk backed Abhijeet Dipke's decision to establish the "Cockroach Janta Party" (CJP) as a pressure group to support student protests.
