While the modern political relationship between India and Israel developed in the 1990s, there have been interesting historical connections between the two regions.
- Ancient Trade Links: Evidence suggests trade routes existed between ancient India and Israel for spices, textiles, and precious stones.
- Shared Values: Both India and Israel have placed a strong emphasis on democracy, innovation, and overcoming adversity throughout their histories.
These historical threads, though not as prominent as more recent developments, contribute to the growing relationship between India and Israel.
