Islamabad (Muhammad Saleh Zafar) In return for helping Pakistan in the Kargil war, India provided weapons to Israel for the aggression in Gaza. The Israeli ambassador has revealed that India provided drones and ammunition to Israel for the aggression in Gaza. Former Israeli Ambassador to India Daniel Karman says that Indians always remind us that Israel was with them during the Kargil war. Israel is one of the few countries that stood by them and supplied them with weapons. He said that Indians do not forget this and perhaps now they are paying the price. These drones and ammunition are being used by Israel against innocent citizens in Gaza. During the 8-month war, 38,000 Palestinians have been martyred in Gaza, including most of them women and children, while millions of people have been left homeless. According to details, former Israeli ambassador to India, Daniel Cornell, says that India may now be in Gaza 'in return' for the help provided by Israel during the 1999 war with Pakistan (in Kargil).
I am arming him for continued aggression. This was said by
Daniel Karman, who served as Israel's ambassador to India from 2014 to 2018,
during an interview given to the leading Israeli magazine 'VNet' News. He made
this statement at a time when reports are circulating that India is supplying
drones and ammunition to Israel's military campaign to eliminate Hamas. India
has neither confirmed nor denied these reports. Daniel Carman was referring to
the brief war between India and Pakistan in the Kargil region of Jammu and
Kashmir between May and July 1999. During this period, Israel assisted India by
providing significant military supplies and equipment, including
precision-guided munitions and surveillance drones. Last May, Spain refused to
allow ships carrying weapons from India to Israel to enter its ports. The
Spanish foreign minister said it was in line with their pledge not to
'contribute to war'. In February, several Indian media reports said that Delhi
had supplied Israel with modern Hormuz 900 drones manufactured in Hyderabad.
These drones were originally manufactured at a plant set up by
the Israeli military to supply the Indian Army. were gone, but reports said 20
drones had been converted for use by the Israel Defense Forces as Israel's own
supplies ran low. India has refrained from directly criticizing Israel's
actions in Gaza, and long-standing ties between the two countries have
strengthened under the Narendra Modi government, but the Indian foreign
ministry has called for a ceasefire and a two-state solution. Support has also
been expressed. India's claims of arms exports to Israel have sparked protests
in the country and concerns among the Indian public about supporting a military
campaign in which the Health Ministry of the Hamas-run Gaza Strip According to
more than 38 thousand Palestinians have been martyred, the majority of whom are
women and children.
The American magazine The Diplomat reported. What has happened is
that relations between India and Israel have grown closer during the prime
ministership of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Netanyahu, both led by
right-wing, nationalist parties. Israelis support India more than any other
country in the world – 71 percent – while a 2009 survey recorded support for Israel in India at 58
percent, higher than the United States. During the recent war in Gaza, a large
number of Indian social media accounts have been promoting a pro-Israel
narrative. The two countries engage in strong trade and India's defense
industry has developed strong ties with Israel. India is the largest buyer of
Israeli weapons, which are vital to its national security. Almost half of
Israel's arms exports — 42.1 percent — went to India since 2014. Since the
1990s, India and Israel have had comprehensive economic, military and political
ties. India recognized Israeli sovereignty in 1950 and Israel opened a
consulate in Bombay in 1953.
