After U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariff announcement on India, New Delhi is reportedly turning to Israel as a trusted strategic partner. The two nations share a history of defense, intelligence, technology, and agricultural cooperation, with Israel stepping in during the Kargil War when the U.S. declined assistance. Analysts say India’s move reflects not just economic concerns but also security and regional influence goals, reinforcing a multi-aligned strategy that blends ties with the U.S., West Asia, and long-standing allies.
