Survey Finds Gen Z Views India-Israel Defence Ties Stronger Than US and France
A recent pan-India survey of Gen Z aged 18-29 reveals a shift in perceptions, with 52% viewing India-Israel defence ties as robust, ranking Israel third alongside Russia and ahead of traditional allies like the US and France. Additionally, 41% consider Israel a key diplomatic partner, surpassing the US. The India Israel Centre attributes this change to cultural narratives and media highlighting Israel's role in supplying advanced military technology to India. The survey was conducted using AI-assisted platforms and released on September 16.
