He also thanked Lt Gen Gantz for the assistance provided to India by Israel for handling the COVID-19 pandemic.
India and Israel share a deep cooperation and strategic partnership.
In April this year, Israel delivered consignments of medical supplies comprising oxygen concentrators, individual oxygen generators, respirators, medications, and additional medical equipment to help India in its fight against the second wave of the coronavirus pandemic through special flights.
The new government of Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett took charge last month ending the 12-year rule of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
