In a passionate address to the Knesset, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu staunchly defended his government's management of the nation's affairs and diplomatic standing. Despite a backdrop of anti-Semitic challenges globally, Netanyahu highlighted unprecedented support from nations including India, represented by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

During the '40-signature debate', a platform utilized by the opposition to challenge the Prime Minister, Netanyahu robustly countered claims of Israel's diminishing international presence. He emphasized Israel's strategic military, economic, and diplomatic dominance, underlining close relationships with global leaders such as Modi and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz.
