Which international project did Israeli officials describe as a 'very good initiative' but acknowledged delays due to the Israel–Hamas war?
India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC)Israeli foreign ministry officials praised the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC) as a “very good” and “amazing” initiative aimed at enhancing regional trade, connectivity, and sustainability. Launched during the G20 Summit in New Delhi in September 2023, IMEC includes partners like India, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, the US, and the EU. However, officials admitted that progress stalled after the October 7, 2025 Hamas attacks on Israel, as regional normalization—especially with Saudi Arabia—depends on tangible progress in Gaza. Israel is not yet a signatory but hopes to join in the next phase. The project is also seen as a strategic counter to China’s Belt and Road Initiative.
