India supplying weapons to Israel as Kargil war payback, former envoy

Former Israeli Ambassador to India, Daniel Carmon, has said that India may be supplying weapons to Israel as a way of ‘returning the favour’ for Israeli support during the 1999 Kargil war.

In an interview with Israel’s Ynetnews, Daniel said that Israel was



among the few countries that provided India with weapons during its conflict with Pakistan.

“The Indians always remind us that Israel was there for them during the Kargil war. The Indians don’t forget this and might now be returning the favour,” Daniel said.
