| Summary / Abstract (Note) | India-Israel bilateral relations are on a strong footing, with strengthened cooperation in the defence sector, apart from robust people-to-people links. The changing global order, regional, domestic and geo-strategic environment compelled New Delhi to establish diplomatic relations with Tel Aviv since January 1992. For Israel, this global situation was exacerbated by its geographical location, constant isolation, and ongoing conflict over its very existence. Based on a broad convergence of security, geopolitical and economic interests, this evolving partnership represents Delhi’s Israel policy as a more pragmatic and realistic. This article analyses the close and intensifying Indian-Israeli relationship is guided by both its interests in the Arab world and ideological considerations and this close relationship shows a good measure of pragmatism with mutually-beneficial cooperation superseding ideological considerations. |
