The Congress on Saturday targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s decision to undertake a visit to Israel, which had happened two days before Tel Aviv in coordination with Washington launched a major military offensive against Iran on Saturday. “Two days after Mr. Modi celebrated his visit to Israel, Israel and the US have begun their joint assault on Iran,” Ramesh wrote on X (formerly Twitter) as news broke of the US and Israeli missile strikes on Iran. Mr. Modi nevertheless chose to go to Israel, where he displayed the highest moral cowardice. This Israel visit was shameful and it is even more so in light of the war that has been launched by two of Mr. Modi’s 'good friends’,” Ramesh added. Two days after Mr. Modi celebrated his visit to Israel, Israel and the US have begun their joint assault on Iran.
