President Pranab Mukherjee returned home tonight after a six-day visit to Jordan, Palestine and Israel.

Before the conclusion of Mukherjee's three-day visit to Israel, its Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hosted a lunch for him and remarked that the future of the bilateral ties is "limitless".

Netanyahu described the President's visit as a "momentous occasion" signifying strengthening ties between the two countries which have translated into several partnerships across wide ranging fields and some of those endeavours are also coming through.

Talking about the acceptance enjoyed by India in Israel, the Prime Minister said that while his country has several parties and ideological disputes, they all love India and there is no dispute on that.
