From 1948 to 1992, we chose not to have an embassy or ambassador in Israel. Why? asks S Jaishankar – The Economic Times Video

Hyderabad, Telangana: At the forum for Nationalist Thinkers- Hyderabad Chapter ‘Foreign Policy The India Way: From Diffidence To Confidence’, EAM Dr S Jaishankar says, “Just think of a country like Israel… Israel became independent in 1948. From 1948 to 1992, we chose not to have an ambassador and an embassy in Israel. Why? From 1992, we had an embassy. From 1992 till 2017, when Narendra Modi went to Israel, no prime minister of India ever visited Israel. Think about it and then tell me that faith has no influence on our policy. Is this not vote bank?
