India Clarifies Relationship with Israel Amid New Government Formation

Amid speculation about ties with India after the formation of a new government in Israel, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has given a very clear answer. MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said on Tuesday that our relations with Israel are good. We have good relations with the people there. We have a multi-faceted and strategic relationship. A new government is being formed there. Spokesperson Jaiswal said that as before, India's dialogue with Israel will continue and will take this relationship further. In fact, no coalition got a clear majority in the elections held in Israel on October 27. Israeli President Isaac Herzog on Sunday gave Eisenkot the official responsibility of forming a new government. For this, he has been given 28 days. The President can also give him 14 additional days to form a new government. Israeli Finance Minister Benjamin Eisenkot is less than 61 months old.
