KEY POINTS
· Abraham Accords deal signed between Israel and a consortium of Arab States led by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in 2020.
· The recent visit by the Indian Air Force chief to Israel offers a window to study how New Delhi is taking advantage of the Abraham Accords.
· The foundation for these visits was set by the (now former) chief of the Indian Navy, who visited the UAE and Oman, the latter being home to Duqm Port.
· The signing of the Accords has removed a significant strategic obstacle for New Delhi delicate balancing act India has had to play out between the Arab Gulf and Israel over the decades.
· The fact that New Delhi used Iranian airspace and facilities when evacuating its diplomatic staff from Kandahar in July showcases a level of strategic commonality, interest and play on certain issues in the region.
· Keeping this in mind, connectivity projects such as Chabahar Port and Chabahar-Zahedan rail project (project discussions are still on) amongst others remain critical.
· India’s strategic play in West Asia will be reflective of its economic growth, and by association, an increasingly important place in the global order.
