"I want to have Captain Smit and Prime Minister Modi that are great friends; I really would like them to bear a celebratory flame. It's the highest honor that we give on our Independence Day. It's usually reserved for Israeli citizens, but I think here in this case, all the citizens of Israel will embrace you. So we hope to see you very soon in Israel... I look forward to seeing you here again, but under the circumstances, I think this will be a memorable and historic visit," says Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Flydubai Captain Smit Machchhar.
