Israel appreciates the \u201cchanges\u201d in India\u2019s recent voting pattern at UN institutions, the Jewish state\u2019s New Delhi envoy told The Hindu in an interview published this past weekend.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIn the last couple of years, we have seen a shift in various votes (by India) which reflects the present improvement in relations,\u201d Israeli Ambassador to India Daniel Carmon said. \u201cI would not over exaggerate this as a trend, each side has their declared positions and it is not a zero-sum game. India says they are committed to the Palestinian cause, to the Arab cause, and they have good relations with Israel that they intend to pursue. We appreciate this stand, and at the UN, we can see it too.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

As reported by The Algemeiner, Israel and India currently enjoy a burgeoning relationship, particularly in the defense field.<\/span><\/p>\n

India, The Hindu noted, abstained from a vote on an anti-Israel UN Human Rights Council resolution in the summer of 2015. This past June, India voted in favor of putting Israel\u2019s UN Ambassador Danny Danon in charge of the UN Legal Committee. And in October, India abstained from a vote on a UNESCO resolution that ignored the Jewish people\u2019s ties with Jerusalem holy sites.<\/span><\/p>\n

An Indian government official told The Hindu that India had a \u201cvery balanced\u201d approach to Israel-Palestinian conflict-related votes in international forums.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe vote for Palestine, but also for Israel on some of their initiatives at the UN,\u201d the official said.<\/span><\/p>\n

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the 1992 establishment of full diplomatic relations between Israel and India and there have been reports that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit the Jewish state to celebrate the occasion.<\/span><\/p>\n

In November, Israeli President Reuven Rivlin traveled to the subcontinent, just over a year after his Indian counterpart President Pranab Mukherjee toured Israel.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jason Isaacson \u2014 the American Jewish Committee\u2019s director of government and international affairs \u2014 told The Hindu in an interview published on Monday that Mukherjee\u2019s October 2015 trip represented India\u2019s \u201ccoming out of the closet\u201d regarding its relationship with Israel.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere is less hesitation in India on embracing Israel,\u201d Isaacson said. \u201cIt started before Mr. Modi, and it is a bipartisan position in India, but it is more public under Mr. Modi that Israel is a natural ally of India and there are mutual benefits.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
