Thank you for your post!

When it comes to doing a tenant-to-tenant migration without losing your domain, you should be able to use Microsoft Entra Connect to synchronize your on-premises Active Directory with MS Entra ID. This tool can help you migrate your users, groups, and other directory objects from one MS Entra ID tenant to another.

• Please note that this is a complex process and requires careful planning and execution.

To use MS Entra Connect, you'll need the following:

1. You need to have an MS Entra ID tenant in the target region (India).
2. You need to have an MS Entra ID tenant in the source region (Israel).
3. You need to have an on-premises Active Directory environment that is synchronized with the source MS Entra ID tenant.
4. You need to have a network connection between the on-premises Active Directory environment and the MS Entra Connect server.
5. You need to have the appropriate permissions to install and configure MS Entra Connect.
