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
