Foreign Media: Indian Prime Minister Modi visited Israel on February 26 and met with Netanyahu, marking a shift in India's Middle East policy from traditional "balancing multiple relationships" to "aligning with powerful countries."
For a long time, India maintained a delicate balance between Israel, Iran, and Arab countries. However, this visit to Israel and statements after the outbreak of the Iran war show that New Delhi is more inclined to align with military powers Israel and the United States.
This shift has raised doubts from the outside: Is India abandoning its tradition of independent diplomacy?
Modi's government's choice reflects pragmatic considerations - the value of Israel and the United States in terms of energy security, counter-terrorism cooperation, and technology acquisition far exceeds that of Iran. However, this also means that India may lose some strategic flexibility in the Middle East.
