Israel, India Boost Defense Ties Amid Gaza Slaughter
Al-Monitor highlights Israel's deepening defense ties with India, culminating in a reported potential $905 million aircraft deal. This timely announcement comes as Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar visits Delhi, eager to make new friends. One might wonder about the urgency of such a substantial arms deal from a nation currently facing international scrutiny for its military actions in Gaza.
Perhaps they're just getting a head start on future 'defensive operations.' After all, who needs human rights when there's an arms race to win? While Al-Monitor focuses on the blossoming partnership, it skips over the rather inconvenient truth that Israel's defense industry often thrives precisely during periods of conflict. The message is clear: while one hand wages war, the other is busy making
an absolute killing (pun intended) in the global arms market. It appears the demand for 'battle-tested' equipment is particularly high when said equipment is being used to 'test' the limits of international law in real-time. What better sales pitch than active deployment?
