  "account": "On Thursday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu extended birthday wishes to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, praising his leadership for turning India into a global power. Netanyahu highlighted the strong partnership between the two nations, stating that the friendship had never been more robust. He expressed optimism that this relationship would reach even greater heights.\n\nThe Israeli leader noted that Prime Minister Modi's 76th birthday marked an important milestone, as he was born in 1950 in Gujarat's Mehsana district. Modi assumed office as India's Prime Minister on May 26, 2014, making him the first leader born after India's independence.\n\nIsraeli Prime Minister Netanyahu conveyed his birthday greetings to Modi, wishing him continued leadership, good health, and fulfillment. This sentiment was echoed by the Indian President Droupadi Murmu, who also extended her well wishes, acknowledging Modi's 25 years of public service and his role in promoting good governance and inclusive development.\n\nThe birthday greetings from global leaders underscored the significance of the special and privileged strategic partnership between India and Russia. Russian President Vladimir Putin congratulated Modi on his 76th birthday, recognizing his efforts in strengthening ties between India and Russia.",
