India’s massive arms exports to Israel expose global military‑industrial ties and policy gaps amid Gaza conflict

Scenario modelling indicates that without stricter export controls, India’s arms industry could double its shipments to conflict zones within a decade, amplifying regional instability. Conversely, integrating climate‑linked risk assessments into defence procurement could redirect investment toward dual‑use technologies that support both security and sustainable development.
India’s extensive arms shipments to Israel are not an isolated incident but a manifestation of entrenched global defence networks, historical alignments, and domestic policy gaps that collectively sustain conflict economies.
By foregrounding indigenous knowledge, historical precedents, and cross‑cultural values, we uncover alternative pathways that prioritize community safety, transparency, and climate resilience. The trickster lens reveals how methodological conservatism masks deeper complicity, urging a re‑examination of export regimes. Implementing multilateral controls, divesting from conflict‑linked contracts, and investing in community‑driven peace innovation can transform the current trajectory toward a more accountable and sustainable security paradigm.
