Senior journalist Hamid Mir has claimed that India and Israel may launch a joint attack on Pakistan before October 2025, citing their deepening strategic alliance. In his vlog, Mir pointed to the ideological bond between Zionism and Hindutva, as highlighted by South African journalist Azad Essa, who sees the partnership as rooted in shared nationalist goals and hostility toward Muslims. Amid rising tensions, India has increased arms purchases following military setbacks in May 2025. The alliance, which began strengthening after Modi’s 2017 visit to Israel, is also influencing hardline policies in Kashmir modeled on Israeli tactics.
