Israel Opposition Seeks Supreme Court President's Invitation for Modi's Knesset Address

Ahead of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's address to Israel's Knesset during his two-day visit, Israel's opposition, led by Yair Lapid, has urged Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to ensure their participation by instructing Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana to invite Supreme Court President Yitzhak Amit, as per protocol. Ohana has declined to invite Amit, citing political reasons linked to the government's judicial overhaul, prompting opposition threats to boycott the event. Modi's visit aims to strengthen bilateral defence and trade ties amid domestic political tensions in Israel.
