Brothers-in-arms: How Modi and Netanyahu are bringing India and Israel closer together
(February 26, 2026)

(February 26, 2026)
The renewed political and economic engagement with the Taliban comes at a time of surging cross-border violence between Afghanistan and Pakistan, which has plunged relations between the two neighbors to a dangerously low point.

And nuclear-armed India wasted no time in strongly condemning Islamabad over the attacks and voiced support for Kabul’s sovereignty.

Why Indian PM Modi’s Israel visit matters for Pakistan’s security
(February 25, 2026)
A new classified framework is expected to open exports from Israel of previously restricted military hardware to India. Among the systems reportedly under discussion is Israel’s Iron Beam, a 100kW-class high-energy laser weapon inducted into the Israeli army in December 2025. Cooperation on Iron Dome missile defence technology transfer for local manufacturing is also under consideration.
For Masood Khan, Pakistan’s former ambassador to both the United States and the United Nations, the visit marks a decisive moment.
“News coming out suggests they are going to sign a special strategic agreement, one that could be seen as a counterpart to the agreement signed by Pakistan and Saudi Arabia last year,” he said. “Israel already has such special agreements with countries like the US and Germany.”

India launched missile strikes on targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir early on Wednesday, marking the most serious military escalation in years between the nuclear-armed rivals and raising fears of a broader conflict.
Analysts say the move may serve New Delhi’s domestic political aims but risks triggering unpredictable retaliation from Islamabad.

(April 24, 2025)
Sources said that during the meeting, party leaders were informed that the area where the incident took place – in Pahalgam’s Baisaran valley – is usually opened to tourists around June and local authorities are required to be informed when tourists are taken there – which was not done, and small batches of tourists were sent to the area from April 20 without informing local authorities.
“You are saying that it is a sensitive place and only opens during the Amarnath Yatra when there is a lot of security,” said Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Sanjay Singh after the meeting to The Wire.
“So how was it opened on April 20 without anyone knowing? Is this a joke? How did 500-1,000 people reach there without anyone’s knowledge? If terrorists knew that it had opened on the 20th, how did our government not know?

Mr. Yadav highlighted the absence of security forces, stating, “Shristi, sister of Navy officer Lieutenant Vinay Narwal who was killed in the terrorist attack said that Vinay was alive for one and a half hours but no one came to help. I want to ask, if 2,000 tourists had gathered at one place, why was there no security arrangement? Not a single security person was present at the site despite knowing the fact that Pahalgam comes under a high-security zone.”
