India’s participation in the Gaza peace talks reflects its growing influence in Middle Eastern diplomacy, marking a shift from a historically cautious stance to a more proactive role. The invitation for Prime Minister Narendra Modi to attend the summit, co-chaired by the US and Egypt, highlights India’s balanced approach toward the Israel-Palestine conflict, where it supports Palestinian rights while strengthening ties with Israel. Notably, India’s involvement in regional initiatives like the I2U2 grouping and the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor underscores its commitment to stability, benefiting its diaspora and economic interests. This development positions India as a trusted mediator in the evolving multipolar landscape of global diplomacy.
