    General Studies – 2; Topic: Bilateral, regional and global groupings and agreements
    involving India and/or affecting India’s interests

    India - Israel Relations


    1) Introduction
     Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's six-day visit to India is a historic occasion.
     Benjamin Netanyahu termed Israel’s relations with India as a "marriage made in heaven but
    consecrated here on earth".
     There is “prosperity, peace and progress” in bilateral ties.

    2) Significance of Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to India


     The visit of Prime Minister Netanyahu is a significant landmark in India-Israel relations.
     The visit is significant especially after India voted in the UN General Assembly against recognising
    Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
     The visit clears apprehensions of a road block in India-Israel relations.
     This is only the second visit by an Israeli prime minister since the two countries established
    diplomatic ties in January 1992.
     The two countries are celebrating 25 years of friendship.
     It is a good opportunity for businessmen from both sides to interact with and understand each
    other, and bridge the cultural gap that exists.
     The two countries inked nine pacts in key areas including oil and gas sector and cyber-security.
     The iconic Teen Murti Chowk in central New Delhi was renamed as Teen Murti-Haifa after Israeli
    City Haifa.

    3) Recent Developments
     "India-Israel Industrial R&D and Technological Innovation Fund” was concluded in July 2017 when
    Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Israel.
     This will support high value-added R&D and enhance the knowledge base of Indian technology
    industries.
     The techno-economic collaboration is expected to increase significantly.
     Israel will invest $68.6 million to boost cooperation with India in areas like tourism, technology,
    agriculture and innovation over a period of four years.
     India has been trying hard to balance its relationship with Israel with its support to the Palestinian
    cause.
     Israel seems to understand India’s position, which is a sign of maturity.
     India and Israel are set to jointly develop new crop varieties and share post harvest technologies
    following the success of the 10-year-old Indo-Israeli Agriculture Project (IIAP).

    4) Economic Relations
     Trade, technology and tourism are the three key areas in India-Israel economic relations.
     Over the last 25 years, bilateral trade has increased from $200 million to more than $4 billion
    (excluding defence) in 2016-17.
     Given India’s large market and huge consumer base, the numbers are low compared to India’s
    economic relations with other countries.

    5) Defence Ties
     India already has robust defence ties with Israel which is expected to strengthen further.
     India is the largest arms buyer from Israel; trade is to the tune of approximately $600 million.
     If defence ties keep increasing at the same rate, Israel may replace Russia as India’s largest arms
    supplier.
     Last year, India signed the biggest weapons deal in Israeli defence history, which is nearly $2 billion.
     This will provide India with an advanced defence system of medium-range surface-to-air missiles,
    launchers and communications technology.

    6) Water and Agriculture


     Israel has become one of the foremost technology superpowers in areas such as rainwater.
    harvesting, use of oceanic water and using that for irrigation in the most dry land.
     Israel has mastered water conservation techniques and India can learn from it.
     It helps India to face its water stressed condition.
     Another area of potential cooperation is cleaning polluted rivers.

    7) Way Forward
     The two sides must expedite talks on trade and investment in an effort to take bilateral ties to the
    next level.
     Need for a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) as well as a Bilateral Investment Treaty (BIT) at the
    “earliest” in an effort to forge greater business-to-business ties.
     India must provide greater market access especially in the farm sector, pharmaceuticals and
    automobiles segments.
     Together, the existing Indian and Israeli innovation ecosystem can create a global impact.
     Israeli companies can join hands with India's manufacturing sectors to scale up the innovations.
     Greater partnership in new R&D projects in India in areas like digital healthcare, agriculture and
    water.
     India can leverage its space technologies to Israel for its developmental purposes where India
    enjoys upper hand.
     India could well take a cue from how Israel maintains stringent external and internal security,
    allowing Israeli settlements right up to the border of conflict zones.
     Both need to cooperate to combat growing radicalisation and terrorism, including in cyber space.
     Israel will be benefited from large pool of skilled Indian engineers and doctors as Mr. Netanyahu’s
    quoted “Indian talent and Israeli technology equals India-Israel ties for tomorrow.”
