Overview
- Israeli outlets, including i24NEWS as cited by WION and Times Now, reported that the December trip has been delayed.
- The reported reason is heightened security concerns after a car-bomb attack near New Delhi’s Red Fort on Nov. 10 that killed and injured people.
- These reports say the postponement would be the third cancellation of an India visit by Netanyahu this year.
- Netanyahu is expected to seek a new date next year pending security assessments, according to the Israeli media accounts.
- There was no widely published formal confirmation from the Indian or Israeli governments at the time of the reports, and Netanyahu last visited India in 2018.
