Netanyahu Urges Stronger Ties with India as Hedge Against US
· World · India Today, Hindustan Times, LiveMint
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called on Israel to strengthen diplomatic alliances with countries such as India and nations in Latin America to prepare for a potentially hostile future US administration. Speaking in Jerusalem nine days before Israel's October 27 election, Netanyahu said Israel must use the remaining years of President Donald Trump's term to solidify its position. He noted that a future US president could be hostile to Israel and stressed the necessity of building a broader network of international partners.
