Description: India has many diverse and profound interests in the Middle East; it enjoys productive and mutually beneficial relations with both Israel and the Arab world, though in diverse and crucially different fields. One thing has remained constant in the past two decades: Whilst supporting Arab aspirations, India has also consistently increased its co-operation with Israel. India's strategic, economic and development needs, combined with its newly found stature as a global player, mean that India will not agree to a deal for less than what the other major international powers, the U.S., E.U., China and Russia, are getting: A deal that ensures full economic and political ties with both Israel and the Arabs, independent of their relationship with each other.
