Why did India's Narendra Modi travel to Israel two days before the US and Israel launched a war on Iran?
That's the question Indians have been trying to answer over the last several days.
The war in Iran, which has claimed 1,000 lives in Iran and wreaked havoc across the entire Gulf over the past seven days, already looks set to be one of the most consequential wars in the Middle East for a generation.
Iran is the long-suffering final outpost against Israeli expansion and domination of the region.
So, when Modi embraced Netanyahu, upgraded ties to Special Strategic Partnership for Peace, Innovation and Prosperity, and walked off with his newly-invented Knesset medal for his service to the Israeli people, had he been briefed about the coming assault?
