An Amnesty International investigation reported by the Guardian shows India has moved from being primarily a customer of Israeli weapons to a 'significant contributor' to Israel's arms production, shipping components including drone warheads, artillery shell casings and small arms parts between October 2023 and November 2025. The report has drawn little political backlash inside India, which analysts attribute to ideological alignment between Modi's Hindu nationalist base and support for Israel, even as UN inquiries have found Israel committed genocide in Gaza and the ICC has issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu.

  • Amnesty International's investigation found India shipped 390,516 small arms parts, 564,970 explosive ordnance parts, and 298 military vehicle components to Israeli military suppliers between October 2023 and November 2025.
  • India has shifted from being primarily a customer of Israeli weapons to a 'significant contributor' to Israel's arms production through joint ventures and manufacturing partnerships.
  • Despite UN findings of genocide in Gaza and an ICC arrest warrant for Netanyahu, the report has triggered little political backlash in India, attributed to ideological alignment between Hindutva and Zionism among Modi's base.
  • The story is being covered amid broader analysis of shifting Middle East alliances and regional strategic realignment.
