Amid the escalating diplomatic row, Israel showed its inclination towards India. Israel is ready to collaborate with India to develop the Lakshadweep Island as it announced the desalination project. The project to attach Israel’s first water attaché to India was proposed to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by PM Narendra Modi in July 2021. Taking this over to ‘X’ handle, the Israeli Embassy described that the federal government requested Israel to initiate the desalination program during their last year state visit to Lakshadweep. The Embassy wrote that Israel is ready to commence working on this project.” Israel also praised Lakshadweep Island by sharing some enchanting pictures of the island and calling it a pristine and majestic beauty. The announcement came after the now-suspended Maldivian Deputy Minister Of Youth Empowerment Mariyan Shiuna called Prime Minister Narendra Modi a “puppet of Israel” in a post that was later removed from her handle. It is pertinent to mention here that Shiuna belongs to the trio- Mahzoom Majid, Mariyam Shiuna and Malsha Shareef who were suspended by Maldivian Government after harshly construing PM Modi’s visit to Lakshadweep as a challenge to Maldives Tourism Industry.
