The decision was made as Bennett had tested positive for Covid on Sunday evening. “Prime Minister Naftali Bennett’s trip to India has been postponed and will be rescheduled,” news agency PTI said from Jerusalem quoting the PM’s media adviser.

Benny Gantz, who was also due to fly to India in the coming days, announced that he was postponing his trip. Gantz met Bennett on Sunday morning.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi had invited them to mark the 30th anniversary of diplomatic relations between New Delhi and Jerusalem.

India is Israel’s biggest customer of weapons and military equipment. A report released by the Sweden-based think-tank Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) on March 14 assessed a five-year period (2017-2021) to say that 37 per cent of all Israeli weapons and military equipment export was done to India.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
