Modi-Netanyahu visit signals new regional security alignment

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Tel Aviv trip underscores a deepening India-Israel partnership across defence, AI, quantum computing and cybersecurity, with talks of new export frameworks and potential tech transfers like Iron Beam/Iron Dome. Analysts say the move could reshape regional security dynamics by strengthening a Western-aligned axis centered on Israel, complicating Pakistan’s position as it balances Gulf ties (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Turkey) and Iran while navigating US interests. The development may prompt Islamabad to reassess its diplomacy and defence posture in response to India-Israel convergence and the broader shift in regional alignments.

US Telecoms on High Alert Amid Unprecedented Chinese Cyber Threat

US national security officials met with top telecom executives at the White House to address a significant Chinese cyber-espionage campaign targeting major US telecom providers. The hackers have infiltrated networks to spy on phone calls and texts, posing a major national security challenge. The meeting aimed to enhance defenses and share intelligence on the operation, which has affected senior political figures, including President-elect Donald Trump. The FBI has identified fewer than 150 victims, but the scope of the breach is still under investigation. China denies the allegations, while US officials continue to counteract Chinese cyber activities.

"US Intelligence Warns Russia of Terror Threat to Crocus City"

The US reportedly provided highly specific information to Russia about the Crocus City terrorist attack, contradicting Kremlin's claims of vague warnings, raising questions about security measures. The attack, claimed by ISIS-K, killed 140 and injured over 500. Russia's FSB intercepted explosives from Ukraine, and despite dismissing some warnings, acted on one to prevent an attack on a synagogue. The US maintains a "duty to warn policy" and provided specific intelligence to Iran in the past. Kremlin's response to the report suggests potential future cooperation based on accurate information sharing.

"US Approves Massive Arms Sale to Israel Despite Criticism"

The Biden administration is close to approving the sale of up to 50 F-15 fighter jets to Israel in a deal worth over $18 billion, marking the largest US foreign military sale to Israel since its conflict with Hamas in October. The sale, along with a new sale of precision-guided munitions kits, highlights continued US military support for Israel despite criticism of its operations in Gaza. The proposed sale is expected to face debate in Congress, particularly among Democratic lawmakers calling for restrictions on military aid to Israel. Additionally, concerns are growing over the administration's intelligence sharing with Israel and its reluctance to use leverage to change Israel's approach to the conflict.

India Seeks FBI Intelligence on Sikh Separatists Amid Assassination Plot Indictment

India has requested the United States to share intelligence on Sikh separatists living in the US, following investigations into an alleged plot to kill a Sikh separatist on American soil. The request was made by India's federal anti-terrorism agency, the National Investigations Agency (NIA), during meetings with FBI Director Christopher Wray. The issue of Sikh separatists operating against India from the US was discussed in detail, and India has asked for information on suspected individuals involved in the separatist movement. The movement for a Sikh homeland in northern India has gained global attention recently, with accusations of Indian officials' involvement in assassination plots against Sikh separatist leaders in North America. India denies any connection to these plots but acknowledges concerns about Sikh separatists raising funds and campaigning for India's division abroad.

Israel's Advance Knowledge of Hamas Attack Plan Raises Questions

There are no indications that Israel shared secret Hamas war plans with the U.S. intelligence community, according to three U.S. officials. Israeli officials obtained Hamas' battle plan for the Oct. 7 attacks, but dismissed it as beyond the militant group's capabilities. If taken more seriously, the Israeli military could have prevented the attacks, which killed over 1,200 Israelis. Israel did not share the plans with U.S. intelligence officials, raising concerns about the extent to which the U.S. relies on Israel for intelligence on Hamas. The Biden administration is focused on ensuring Hamas cannot repeat such attacks.

EAM Jaishankar addresses intelligence sharing in Nijjar's killing

Indian External Affairs Minister (EAM) Jaishankar responded to reports of intelligence shared among The Five Eyes regarding the killing of Sikh leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar, stating that he is not part of The Five Eyes or the FBI and therefore not the right person to ask. The US Ambassador to Canada had previously mentioned that shared intelligence among Five Eyes partners led to the claim of a potential link between Indian government agents and Nijjar's killing.
