Rajnath visiting Israel from Nov 5

Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh is visiting Israel from Nov 5 during which some key agreements on homeland security are expected to be signed by the two countries.

The home minister is likely to meet Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during the visit, diplomatic sources said here.

The visit comes more than a month after the meeting between Netanyahu and Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New York.

Israel's National Security Adviser Joseph Cohen met Rajnath Singh and his Indian counterpart Ajit Doval earlier this month.
