Israel-Hamas Conflict Threatens India's Plans for New Trade Route to Europe

Israel's war with Hamas may threaten India's plans for an India-Middle East-Europe economic corridor.

The corridor aims to boost connectivity and infrastructure between India, the Middle East, and Europe.

It is seen as a counter to China's Belt and Road Initiative.

If the Arab world joins Hamas, it could derail the corridor and hurt India economically.

The conflict could impact shipping costs, oil prices, remittances from the region, and trade through Israeli ports.
