New Delhi: India and Israel, two states widely condemned for their blatant violations of human rights in occupied territories, have signed a Bilateral Investment Agreement (BIA) in New Delhi to strengthen their economic and political cooperation.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, the agreement was inked between Indian Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and her Israeli counterpart Bezalel Smotrich, replacing a 1996 treaty scrapped by India in 2017. The new pact promises protection of reciprocal investments, safeguards against expropriation, and access to international arbitration for dispute resolution.<\/p>\n

Analysts point out that the deal reflects a growing partnership between New Delhi and Tel Aviv at a time when both regimes are facing global outrage for trampling the basic rights of Palestinians and Kashmiris. Despite international criticism of their settler-colonial policies, the two governments are now presenting themselves as strategic allies.<\/p>\n

Rights advocates stress that India\u2019s brutalities in occupied Jammu and Kashmir and Israel\u2019s ongoing atrocities in occupied Palestine have reduced both regimes to outcasts in the eyes of oppressed peoples. The latest agreement, they argue, highlights how oppressors are aligning with one another even as their actions remain widely disliked by the global community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
