Terming Modi's visit to Palestine last week as crucial, Heptulla said that she herself was involved with the issue (conflict between Palestine-Israel) for around 40 years and on the basis of her experience she could say that Modi can establish peace between the two nations.
"I don't know when and how, but I feel with the faith that the people of Palestine and Israel have in Modi, the prime minister will act a mediator and be able to bring a solution to the crisis between the two nations," Heptulla told reporters during a press conference here.
"The respect he received in Palestine shows that he is accepted as a world leader," she said.
The Manipur governor, who is visiting Delhi, also met Union Home minister Rajnath Singh.

She apprised Singh of the "improved" law and order situation in Manipur and discussed ways to resolve the drug abuse problem prevalent in the region.
Heptulla also mentioned a proposal of the Home ministry of issuing certificates or visas to monitor and restrict the movement in the border areas to curb drug and arms smuggling.
"It will put a check on the illegal movement and a record can be maintained that can help curb the drugs, arms and ammunition smuggling," she said.
Heptulla said that the law and order situation in Manipur has improved over the past few months as markets remain open even after 7PM, extortion cases have stopped and elections have been held peacefully.
Heptulla said she had requested the Ministry of Civil Aviation for introducing a direct flight from Delhi to Imphal after which Air India introduced one such flight.
