Summary
India and Israel have expanded a once-quiet relationship into a public, multi-sector partnership spanning defense technology, intelligence cooperation, and symbolic diplomacy.

Why it matters
A deeper India-Israel alignment can reshape India’s Middle East posture and its defense supply chain, with direct consequences for regional diplomacy and domestic politics.
