Indian Workers Set To Bolster Israeli Economy as Strategic Partnership Grows

The strengthening ties between India and Israel are set to usher in a new phase of cooperation as thousands of Indian workers are poised to assist in Israel’s construction sector, recently hampered by the conflict with Hamas. Keren Setton from The Media Line reports on this burgeoning partnership, notably highlighted by Indian national security adviser Ajit Doval’s recent visit to Israel for discussions with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Amid the backdrop of ongoing conflict in Gaza, India has voiced calls for a cease-fire, marking a significant policy shift since Narendra Modi’s election in 2014, which saw India moving closer to Israel. The relationship deepened further with Modi’s historic 2017 visit to Israel, reciprocated by Netanyahu’s trip to India. This collaboration, rooted in shared interests and ideology, faces its latest test amid the Gaza conflict, with India abstaining from a UN resolution for a truce, reflecting a nuanced approach to its foreign policy and defense technology interests. The partnership also resonates on the global stage, with India leveraging its influence among developing nations and striving for a balanced stance in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
