'Full confidence in security': Israel after Netanyahu defers India visit; new dates soon
New Delhi: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office issued a statement on Tuesday reaffirming "full confidence" in India's security under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, following media reports suggesting that Netanyahu's planned visit to India had been postponed due to security concerns.
The clarification came after media reports emerged claiming that Netanyahu’s visit was deferred in the wake of the November 10 car blast near Delhi’s Red Fort.
"Israel’s bond with India and between Prime Minister Netanyahu and Prime Minister @narendramodi is very strong. The PM has full confidence in India’s security under PM Modi, and teams are already coordinating a new visit date," read a post by Prime Minister of Israel's official X handle.
Netanyahu had been expected to visit India before the end of the year, according to Israeli outlet i24 News Hebrew. His office has confirmed that discussions are ongoing to finalise a new date for the visit.

4 workers die after being buried under coal slurry in Jharkhand's Dhanbad
Dhanbad (Jharkhand) (PTI): At least four workers died after being buried under coal slurry in Jharkhand's Dhanbad district on Saturday, a police official said.
The incident took place at Moonidih coal washery in the command area of Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL).
"Bodies of all four workers were dug out of debris during a rescue operation," Putki police station in-charge Waqar Hussain told PTI.
The incident took place when coal slurry was being loaded into trucks by workers, during which a large chunk of slurry fell and trapped several workers underneath, officials said.
The deceased have been identified as Manik Bauri, Dinesh Bauri, Deepak Bauri, and Hemlal Gope.
Meanwhile, the family members of the deceased and local villagers placed the bodies in front of the washery gate and began a protest.
They demanded compensation, jobs for dependents and action against those responsible for the incident.
Police and administration officials are trying to pacify the protesters, an official said.
