That might be handy too <| sep |> I am always amazed at how quickly things change after I return from previous visits . You should all be very proud of what you achieved . Thank you ! It makes me happy to see people appreciating India ' s progress instead of deriding the pace of the progress What is your opinion on the current relations India has with Israel ? There ' s context to all international relations . India ' s reasons for having an overtly closer relationship with Israel is because Israel has a lot of things India needswants agricultural technology , a market , intelligence and weapons . Israel needs India because India is a market for all these things , and also because they feel they can leverage India and the OIC ' s mutural distrust of each other to their benefit . As India grows bigger and more economically powerful , it will be difficult to ignore or disregard certain countries overtly while carrying out a behindcloseddoors normal relationship . India ' s public relationship with Israel is only going to grow , and the private relationship with Israel has always been there . I don ' t think Palestinians should feel threatened about it though . Regardless of how India is in many spheres , its foreign policy is top notch . India has good or above average relationships with most countries in the region with the exception of its immediate neighbors , which is more than can be said about other countries of India ' s size . As long as the foreign policy cadre see a qualitative benefit in supporting the Palestinian cause , our official position on Palestine will not change . Our relationship with Palestine will not be colored or influence by Israel , just as our relationship with Iran is not colored by Israeli influence though a little American pressure caused us to shamefully buckle some 7 years back at the UN .
