A top Palestinian official says India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi will make what is described as a historic visit to Ramallah next month.
Majdi Khaldi, an adviser to President Mahmoud Abbas told the Voice of Palestine on Monday that the visit will take place on Feb. 10, with Modi coming to Ramallah. He says it’s the first time an Indian prime minister will visit the Palestinian controlled areas.
Modi’s visit would come just weeks after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was warmly welcomed during a six-day trip to India.
India, for decades a leading country in the nonaligned movement, has developed warm relations with Israel in recent years.
Khaldi says “this is the first Indian PM to visit the Palestinian territories and it is going to be historical.”

In that case, I think it is appropriate for the Indian leader to not use an Israeli airport (Ben- Gurion), and he should find lodging and accommodations strictly in Ramallah.
