It is time for the UPA to stand up and at least try to insulate international diplomacy, whether it is with Israel, Iran, the US or China, from domestic political discourse. After all, both Russia and China are assiduously engaging Tel Aviv without any political furore on the domestic front. Constant political noise and commotion over foreign policy sends a confusing signal to the global community about the administration’s intentions and capabilities. One hopes that the UPA does not let the Left do to Israel-India relations what it did to the nuclear deal.
