Hundreds of protesters in the Indian capital New Delhi on Wednesday took to the streets to denounce Benjamin Netanyahu’s “historic” arrival in India – the first by an Israeli leader in 15 years. The protesters called on Netanyahu to go back home and labeled him “Killer of Humanity”.
A group of Indian institutions and Islamic organizations staged protests under the theme “Go back home” and “Netanyahu the Killer of Humanity”.
The Israeli PM landed at the New Delhi airport Sunday in “a historic and special visit” Indian counterpart Narendra Modi said. Israeli and Indian leaders hope to strengthen ties between the two countries during the six-day visit with deals on cyber security energy and space cooperation expected to be signed.
The visit also comes weeks after India along with 127 other countries joined a UN General Assembly call for the Donald Trump administration to drop its decision on recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
