If Israel and the UAE did not even have formal diplomatic relations a year ago, their growing economic and strategic cooperation is opening up opportunities for other powers, including India. External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar, now in Israel, joined the quadrilateral conference after meeting his Israeli <strong>counterpart (A person or thing having the same function or characteristics as another) <\/strong>Yair Lapid, where they had agreed to launch talks for a <strong>free trade agreement (a pact between two or more nations to reduce barriers to imports and exports among them)<\/strong>. The four-nation meeting also points to India\u2019s strategic desire to adopt a regional foreign policy strategy towards West Asia, <strong>transcending (Be greater in scope or size than some standard) <\/strong>its <strong>bilateralism (The property of being symmetrical about a vertical plane)<\/strong>. Over the years, India has built vibrant bilateral ties with all the countries in the grouping. It is a member of the Quad with the U.S., Australia and Japan, which have common concerns and shared interests on East Asia. Israel is one of India\u2019s top defence suppliers. The UAE is vital for India\u2019s energy security. The Gulf country, which hosts millions of Indian workers, has also shown interest to mediate between India and Pakistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the past, there were three pillars to India\u2019s West Asia policy \u2014 the Sunni Gulf monarchies, Israel and Iran. Now that the gulf between the Sunni kingdoms and Israel is being narrowed, especially after the Abraham Accords, the normalisation agreements signed between Israel and the UAE and Bahrain <strong>under the tutelage of (used to say who a person is taught something by)<\/strong> the Trump administration, India faces fewer challenges to a regionalist approach. Mr. Jaishankar has hinted that there would be more meetings among the four countries. While it is too early to speak of the strategic significance of such a grouping, there are areas where it can deepen its engagement \u2014 trade, energy ties, fighting climate change and enhancing maritime security. But India should also be mindful of the challenges in the region. The U.S. is clearly seeking to lessen its <strong>footprint (range of operation (as of a service)) <\/strong>here as part of its <strong>pivot (the central or most important person or thing) <\/strong>to East Asia to tackle China\u2019s rise, which is redrawing West Asia\u2019s traditional equations. India should be careful not to get sucked into the many conflicts of West Asia that could intensify amid growing regional rivalries. While the Abraham Accords made it easier for India to find common ground with the Israelis and the Emiratis, the contradiction between this emerging bloc and Iran remains as intense as ever. India, which sees itself aligned with the U.S. in the Indo-Pacific, faces deepening insecurities in continental Asia after the American withdrawal from Afghanistan. And it will have to work closely with countries such as Iran to deal with the challenges <strong>emanating (to come out from a source) <\/strong>from a post-American Afghanistan. So the challenge before New Delhi is to retain a healthy relationship with Iran even as it seeks to build a stronger regional partnership with the U.S.-Israel-UAE bloc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/exams\/banking\/ibps-po\/?refcode=2929&amp;utm_source=Blog_The+Hindu+Editorial+Vocabulary%E2%80%93+Oct+20%2C+2021%3B+Day+163_201021_IBPSPM&amp;utm_medium=Link&amp;utm_campaign=IBPSPM\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IBPS_PO_210921-1024x128.jpg\" alt=\"IBPS_PO_Mock Test\" class=\"wp-image-8488\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to improve your vocabulary further?\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/vocabulary\/the-hindu-editorial-vocabulary-download-free-pdf\/\">Download the Lists of Word-Meanings of Previous Months here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Read these editorial-analyses on a daily basis, improve your word-power and score much better marks in the English language section.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":9912,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[11,25,5,17,2,49,47],"tags":[69],"class_list":["post-9909","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ibps-clerk","category-ibps-po","category-ibps-so","category-niacl-ao","category-rbi-assistant","category-sbi-po","category-vocabulary","tag-editorials-difficult-words-2"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The Hindu Editorial Vocabulary\u2013 Oct 20, 2021;
