The Modi Administration's Security Cooperation between India and Israel
Since Modi came to power,India and Israel security cooperation has been elevated to a new level both in scope and scale.The main motives behind this include strategic calculations,counter terrorism,maintaining security in the Indian Ocean and coping with U.S.policy adjustment toward India.India has made its foreign policy more balanced between West Asia and East Asia,but its deep"bondage"with the United States and Israel in the field of security has challenged the progress of China's Middle East policy.Building on its strengthened cooperation with Israel,India has launched a new connectivity program to hedge China's overseas projects.At the same time,India-Israel cooperation has further strengthened India's position in South Asia,which may spur India to adopt a more adventurous policy toward China.
