Sisters in Arms: The Burgeoning Defense Trade between Israel and India – Amos Harel
(Daily Alert)

Even though India continues to maintain extensive relations with the Arab world, its commitment to the Palestinian cause seems to have slackened in the past two decades and its leaders have stopped clashing with Israel over the subject. At the same time, the areas of dialogue with Israel are expanding, and include fighting terrorism, security-related deals, and Israeli aid in agriculture and water desalination.

    India is the no. 1 export target of Israel’s defense industries, including radar, sea-to-sea missiles, warning planes, communications systems, and ammunition. Israel is held in high regard in India, thanks to methods and technologies it has developed in intelligence and the war on terrorism. (Ha’aretz)
