Mumbai, Feb 26 (IANS) Taking some time off from his busy schedule during his Israel visit, Prime Minister Narendra Modi met the cast and crew of the popular Israeli show, “Fauda”.

Not just that, PM Modi also posed for a selfie with the stars of the popular Netflix series on the second day of his visit to Israel.

Publishing the selfie on his official X (Previously known as Twitter) handle, the PM quipped in the caption, “Thankfully, this interaction required only a selfie, no undercover work! (sic)”

The picture showed the Prime Minister posing with ‘Fauda’ creators Lior Raz and Avi Issacharoff, along with cast members Laetitia Eido, Doron Ben-David, and many other members of the team.

Reacting to the post, Lior penned the comment, “Thank you prime minister it was an huge honor for us 🇮🇳 🇮🇱 (sic).”
