Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is seeking to strengthen Israel’s security partnerships with India and Latin American nations amid concerns that a future US administration could become more hostile towards Jerusalem. Although Donald Trump’s presidency runs until at least 2029, Netanyahu has warned that a successor could reduce military assistance to Israel or support international sanctions and an arms embargo.
