  • Jawaharlal Nehru voted against the resolution meant for granting UN membership to Israel.

    India was also opposed to the UN partition plan for Palestine in 1947.

    According to Nehru, the Israeli Jews (Zionists) offered bribes worth millions of dollars to India to vote in favour of the partition plan, but India refused to support the plan.

  • According to Jawaharlal Nehru, formation of Israel wasn't in violation of any international laws and India understood the needs of Israeli Jews.

    Nehru had recognized Israel as a nation but did not begin any diplomatic ties with it.

    Nehru maintained that India had equally good relations with the Arab nations as well as with Israel.

  • India and Israel exchanged ambassadors for the first time in 1992.

    It was seen as a major shift from India's pro-Arab and non-aligned stand.

    The fall of Soviet Union in 1991 was said to be the major reason behind India's change in stand.

    The relationship was formed on the basis of the common security threat of Islamic terrorism to both nations.
