The Israeli Parliament on Wednesday conferred the Speaker of the Knesset Medal upon Prime Minister Narendra Modi after his address in the Knesset.

This marks the first time the medal has been awarded, making him the inaugural recipient of the highest honour of the Knesset.

The medal has been conferred in recognition of PM’s exceptional contribution through his personal leadership to strengthen strategic relations between India and Israel.

PM Modi now stands out as a rare world leader who has received top honours from both Israel and Palestine. In 2018, he was conferred the Grand Collar of the State of Palestine, the highest Palestinian honour for foreign leaders.
