India: From Palestine Ally To ‘Blessing’ On Netanyahu’s UN Map

NEW YORK, NY – On September 27 at the United Nations General Assembly in New York, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu displayed two symbolic maps. In his right hand, a map of the Middle East highlighted countries like Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Yemen in black, labeling them “The Curse.” In his left hand was a map of nations colored green, such as Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Sudan—and notably, India—dubbed “The Blessing.” Notably absent from the maps was any mention of Palestine, a stark omission that drew attention.
India’s inclusion in the “blessing” category signals its shifting relationship with Israel, particularly under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership. While India has long supported Palestinian self-determination, its ties with Israel have deepened in recent years. Cooperation in defense, technology, and intelligence has flourished, reflecting a strategic realignment in India’s foreign policy. This growing partnership has not only reshaped India’s stance in the Middle East but also aligned it more closely with Israel on key issues, even as New Delhi continues to balance its traditional relationships in the region.

Palestine has also gone from a friend; Yasser Arafat claimed Indira Gandhi to be a sister to today’s Palestinians collecting Indian aid while many openly supporting terrorists in Kashmir.
At the end of the day. Muslims must learn to live with the world and change its thinking or continue to be in endless wars and terrorism. Lebanon was once a Christian country that took in Muslim refugees only to become refugees in their own country. The same story repeated a decade later in Kashmir and continues to repeat elsewhere. Must stop.

under Modiji India has shifted closer to Israel and with good reasons. Israel helped India more than any other nations in its hour of need. With Israel technology and India manpower, anything is possible in this world. Jokers like pappu and pitroda can keep barking.
