If news reports are to be believed, Modi could be the first ever Indian PM to visit Israel. Not a bad strategy at all. Keeping Israel on its side and in good humor is not going to hurt at all. Whenever India buys weapons from America, it has to lobby hard to pass the perfunctory anti-India lobby who harp on India not signing NPT, CTBT etc. But India need not worry if it buys advance weapons from Israel (most of them are from US anyway). Hardly any objection would be raised by USA, and if any it will be taken care by the power Jewish lobby. India will not have to bother. Nevertheless, Modi's visit to Israel is an out of box thinking, a win-win situation for India.
