Tel Aviv : Moshe Holtzberg, the Israeli child who narrowly escaped death in the 2008 Mumbai terror attack at the age of two years, on Wednesday expressed his desire to return to the Indian city and live there.

He made his desire known when Prime Minister Narendra Modi met him. "Aapka swagat hai hamare desh mein," said the boy to Modi who was accompanied by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Moshe told Modi that he misses India. Modi told him that he is welcome to return to India and live there, for which he will be provided a long- term visa. "Dear Mr Modi, I love you and the people in India... I live in Afula, but I remember our connection to Nariman House (Chabad House)... I hope I will be able to visit Mumbai and when I get older, I (will) live there," Moshe said to Modi while presenting a gift to the Indian Prime Minister.

"Thank you for your very very special gift," Modi said. "Come and stay in India and Mumbai. You are most welcome. You and your all family members will get long-term visas. So you can come anytime and go anywhere," Modi told the boy.

Netanyahu invited Moshe to accompany him to India when he travels there. Moshe was just two at the time of the 26/11 attack and was rescued by his nanny who fled with him from the Nariman House after Pakistan-based LeT terrorists attacked it.
