Earlier this week, India signed a historic investment pact with Israel.

The deal, known as the Bilateral Investment Agreement (BIA), is meant to bolster investor confidence and provide smoother business transactions between the two countries.

At the signing ceremony in Delhi on 8 September, Israel’s Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said the pact would “open new doors for both Israeli and Indian investors, strengthen Israeli exports, and provide businesses on both sides with certainty and tools to develop in the world’s fastest-growing markets”.

“India is a growing economic power, and cooperation is a tremendous opportunity for Israel.”

100 percent chance modi is running pegasus and like nso type spyware.

That was likely part of the deal, for expanded or continuing surveillance powers.

Pegasus and the like were likely the flame virus tweaked and repurposed, that infected iranian centrifuges and computers some 20 years back. Described as the most malicious virus to date back then, it listened and watched and logged and shared everything on iranian computers secretly even when off, and ruined centrifuges by mis tweaking their spin rates.

Any targets of bjp should ditch all smart phones.

The fuck is India looking to buy from Israel other than Pegasus and other spy software?

Maybe it’s also meant as a middle finger to muslim countries
