FOREIGN ALLIANCES: THE INDO-ISRAEL DEFENSE COLLABORATION AND ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR PAKISTAN'S SECURITY PARADIGM

Abstract

The Indo-Israel defense collaboration presents a formidable challenge to Pakistan's security framework, driven by mutual strategic goals and advanced military technology transfers to India. This partnership, devoid of diplomatic ties between India and Israel, exacerbates the existing military gap between India and Pakistan. To counteract this challenge, Pakistan must prioritize strategic alliances with China, diversify partnerships, and emphasize indigenous defense capabilities to maintain regional strategic balance. This study explores the implications of the Indo-Israel defense collaboration on Pakistan's security paradigm using qualitative research methods. While the partnership enhances India's defense capabilities, agricultural practices, and crisis response, it concurrently poses significant security concerns for Pakistan. Proactive measures, including strategic alliances and indigenous defense development, are imperative for Pakistan to navigate these challenges effectively. By implementing these recommendations, Pakistan can safeguard its national security interests amidst the complex geopolitical landscape, ensuring sovereignty, stability, and prosperity in the region.
