The Indian prime minister's words were more than lip service and flattery. They were a compass that could show Israel where the rising power is headed, as it proved immediately after Oct. 7 when it sent weapons and artillery shipments while the Biden administration delayed arms deliveries to Israel. Modi's speech was one Vance apparently missed.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan's statements against Israel reached a new peak this week, but Israel's security establishment marked him long ago. He has been suspected of helping expose Israeli spies, socialized with Qassem Soleimani and signaled sympathy for Hamas. How dangerous is his rise to the top of power?

The president briefed the prime minister on efforts to stop attacks in the Strait of Hormuz and the possibility of renewing talks with Iran.

As a Francophile Israeli, I have had the privilege of being a close observer of Franco-Israeli relations for several decades. Like many Israelis, I wish to turn the page. To see again the France of the Enlightenment, of human rights and universal values, the France of Victor Hugo, Chateaubriand, Zola, Mendes France, Cassin, Blum and Bloch, and a long list of sincere and loyal friends of Israel. They are true heroes of the nation.
