India’s vote at UN not an issue

Context

Indo-Israel bilateral relations – PM Netanyahu’s January visit to India

Backdrop

India in December voted in favour of the UN General Assembly resolution, condemning the U.S. for its decision to recognise Jerusalem as the capital of Israel

Historic first

Prime Minister NarendraModi had visited the Jewish state in July, becoming the first Indian premier to do so

Netanyahu’s views

  • Pointing towards the tremendous strengthening of ties on all fronts, Mr. Netanyahu expressed optimism saying, “overtime I hope I will see a reflection of that more often in the voting of India in international forums
  • On the matter of India voting in favour of UNGN resolution: Well I would have preferred a different vote to be frank but I don’t think it materially changes the tremendous flowering of relations between India and Israel
