Transportation Minister Regev Opens Diplomatic Visit to India With Visit to Chabad House in Mumbai

The Minister of Transportation, Brigadier General Miri Regev, arrived at the beginning of the week for a diplomatic visit to India, during which she is expected to meet with senior government officials in the country and sign a series of agreements in the fields of transportation.

Minister Regev chose to open her visit to the Chabad House in Mumbai, by laying a wreath and lighting candles in memory of the victims of the brutal terrorist attack that took place there, in which six Jews were killed, including Chabad Shluchim Rabbi Gabi and Rebecca Holzberg.

Minister Regev toured the Chabad House with her entourage, and heard from the local Shliach, Rabbi Yisrael Kozlovsky, about the intense activity during the year with the Jewish community and tourists there. The Minister of Transportation visited the memorial to the murdered and the room of Moishy Holzberg, who was two years old when his parents were murdered and he survived through a miracle.

As part of a briefing she held for the local media at the end of the visit, Minister Regev, a member of the political-security cabinet, addressed Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, asking him to activate his international contacts, among others in Saudi Arabia, in order to free the abductees and return them home.
