Prime Minister Narendra Modi at New York's Madison Square Garden in September 2014. During his visit to the city met a group of leaders from Jewish advocacy groups.
NEW DELHI: With the India-Israel relationship out of the closet, the famed Jewish lobby in Washington is taking the first steps towards linking their advocacy of Israel-US issues with India.
Two months after Prime Minister Narendra Modi met a group of leaders from Jewish advocacy groups in New York, the American Jewish Committee has sent letters to key members of the US Congress saying India and Israel are natural partners which, along with the US, shared fundamental values.
"For many years, AJC, the global Jewish advocacy organization, has sought to promote enhanced US-India and India-Israel relations through advocacy initiatives with the Indian-American community in congressional, campus, cultural and commercial arenas. The United States, India, and Israel share fundamental values, including religious and ethnic pluralism, electoral democracy and market-based economies — and common strategic challenges and concerns, including the urgent effort to thwart terrorism. As such, we regard the partnership between India and Israel as a natural one," it said.
