India's Foreign Policy Shift towards Palestine and Israel

Abstract

In 1992, signs of change began in India's foreign policy towards Palestine and Israel. New attitudes had been noticed in the United Nations as India backed Israel. Two years later, the Palestinian issue no longer attracts the Indian government's interest, especially since the Oslo Accords of 1994. This research study attempts to explain the reasons for India's shift in foreign policy toward Palestine and Israel. The reasons that prompted the Indian leadership to adopt a new approach in India's foreign policy towards the two sides of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict in a way different from the previous policy indicates the existence of significant continuity and change to achieve the specific objectives of the Indian foreign policy.
