With global trade operations feeling the disruptions after Trump tariffs, Israel's Ambassador to India, Reuven Azar, on Thursday said that he believed that US tariffs on India are a temporary issue. The Israeli Ambassador further said that the trade-related issue between the two countries will be resolved through dialogue.
The Israeli Ambassador to India, Azar, while speaking to the media, further said that “India-Israel relations will not be compromised.”
Furthermore, he stated, "I don't think it has any effect [on India-Israel relations]. I'm not an expert on the Indian market. I know that when it comes to the trade between India and Israel, it's not going to be undermined. Well, I hope this is a temporary issue that will be solved because I think that countries have a common interest to continue cooperating," as cited by news agency ANI.
