Al Jazeera English What’s driving ‘special relationship’ between Israel and India? | Inside Story

It’s a visit expected to reinforce the already strong ties between Israel and India.
But it also highlights the shift in Indian policy on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict since Narendra Modi came to power in 2014.
Over the years, the two countries have developed partnerships in many fields, particularly defence and technology.
Now, they say they want to take that relationship a step further, with Netanyahu hoping to establish a new axis.
But what does it mean for the Middle East? And what role would India play?
