I am sure that our relationship will gain more strength in the years to come." "Thank you PM @yairlapid for the Independence Day wishes.

I am sure this friendship will grow exponentially in the years to come," Modi tweeted responding to Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid's wishes.

Replying to Netanyahu, Modi tweeted, "Thank you so much for the wishes @netanyahu. May the friendship and brotherhood between our countries remain like this and our relations touch new heights."
