The ongoing Gaza conflict and the rising regional tensions will likely make the Middle East less stable for the next few years
Although the trajectory of India's relations with the Middle East remains a grey area, in the future, it can become a defining relationship to global security.
The ground situation in Iraq and Syria, while still ripe for an ISIS return, has also created ripples in traditional security structures of countries such as India.
