Israel's foreign minister on May 9 said he will cut short his visit to India after receiving a "security update" on his arrival in New Delhi.
"In light of the events in Israel, I decided to cut short the diplomatic visit to India and return to Israel after my meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi that will take place today," Foreign Minister Eli Cohen wrote on Twitter, CNBCTV18 reports.
During Cohen's short visit, India and Israel signed three new MoUs in his presence and that of Jal Shakti Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat.
Cohen's visit was part of an effort to explore ways to expand bilateral ties between India and Israel and to prepare the ground for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's trip to India later this year.
The visit was also part of a series of high-level visits by senior Israeli officials to India over the past few months.
