Recently, a statement by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has become a topic of discussion in global diplomatic circles. Amidst the ongoing rift and increasing tension with America, Netanyahu’s ‘naming India’ is giving many serious signals. He has clearly said that ‘What I am doing for India, I will do the same for Israel also.’ This statement has not only shocked experts but has also forced them to think whether Israel is now looking at India as a ‘model’ for its strategic relations? Let us understand this new diplomatic game plan of Israel.
Is Netanyahu considering India as a ‘role model’?
The deep meaning of this statement of Netanyahu is being extracted. The strong partnership that has been built between India and Israel in the last decade in the fields of defence, technology and diplomacy is an example for the world. India is known for its ‘Strategic Autonomy’, that is, taking decisions in its national interests without coming under the pressure of any one superpower. Netanyahu’s indication is probably that Israel now wants to reduce its dependence on America and mold itself with an independent and self-reliant foreign policy like India.
Israel’s new plan: autonomy and self-reliance
Israel’s new plan is not limited only to military strength, but it is also a big step towards economic and technological self-reliance. Netanyahu believes that just as India has built relations with global powers on its own terms, Israel too no longer wants to depend on any one country for its existence. This diplomacy simply means that Israel will now give priority to its conditions with its neighbors and in other global forums. This change can definitely change the equations of the Middle East and may further deepen India-Israel relations in the future.
