Israel, Like Obama, Recognizes Value Of Strong India Ties

Thus, like the United States, India is a natural ally for Israel. Although the U.S. remains the world’s superpower, the global balance of power is shifting east, with ascendant economic heavyweights such as India and China gaining increasing power.

Israel must develop new political alliances and strong economic partnerships with countries that hold political and economic power, particularly those that share interests and concerns with Israel. India meets all these criteria.
