Israel-India Relations: Geopolitical Update and Emergence of a New Axis
Let's start with the historical and current facts as they've evolved in recent years, particularly in light of Narendra Modi's second visit to Israel. As you recall, Modi's first visit to Israel took place in 2017 and marked a historic turning point—the first Indian prime minister to visit the country. Since then, relations have strengthened dramatically, with emphasis on military, technological, economic, and intelligence cooperation. India has become one of the largest buyers of Israeli weapons, including air defense systems like the "Iron Dome" and advanced missiles, as well as mutual investments in AI, agriculture, and water management.In February 2026 (current time), Modi is on his second official visit to Israel, lasting two days and focusing on deepening ties amid the Gaza war and US-Iran tensions. During this visit, Modi addressed the Knesset, emphasizing the "vital partnership" between the two countries and expressing full support for Israel "with complete conviction." Netanyahu called Modi a "brother" and "champion of the Indian-Israeli alliance." The visit includes discussions on AI, defense, and trade, including increased military exports from Israel to India. This is no coincidence: India sees Israel as a strategic partner against shared threats like Islamic terrorism and China, while Israel views India as a massive market and ally in Asia.The formation of the Israel-India axis is part of a broader trend: Since 2014 (Modi's rise to power), India has shifted its policy toward the Palestinians, reducing support for them and drawing closer to Israel. This includes cooperation in the expanded "Abraham Accords," with a focus on a trade corridor from India through the Middle East to Europe (IMEC). This axis is not just economic—it's geostrategic, with potential to expand into Africa.Somaliland and Cameroon: Entry Points to AfricaAs you mentioned, Somaliland is a critical point in this axis. On December 26, 2025, Israel became the first country in the world (a UN member) to officially recognize Somaliland as a sovereign and independent state—a historic move that broke Somaliland's isolation since 1991. This recognition, "in the spirit of the Abraham Accords," includes cooperation in economy, agriculture, health, technology, and intelligence. Israel has already appointed an ambassador to Somaliland, and Somaliland has appointed one to Israel (Mohamed Haji).Strategically, Somaliland is the "gateway to Africa": It sits on the coast of the Gulf of Aden, near the Bab el-Mandeb Strait—a vital maritime route controlling trade flow from the Indian Ocean to the Red Sea. Israel sees it as a potential base against the Houthis (Iran-backed), Iran, and Turkey, in collaboration with the UAE (which has already invested in Berbera port). For India, it's an opening to African trade, especially as Somaliland is interested in joining the Abraham Accords. This could turn the Israel-India-Somaliland axis into a corridor connecting India through Israel to Africa, bypassing Somalia (which vehemently opposes the recognition and calls it a "violation of its sovereignty").Cameroon is another "Israeli" point on Africa's map. Relations between Israel and Cameroon have been very strong since 1960 (Cameroon's independence), with a brief interruption in 1973-1986, followed by quick renewal—Cameroon was the first in Africa to resume ties. Cameroon's President Paul Biya (since 1982) is considered one of Israel's closest allies in Africa. Cooperation includes:
- Military: Israel supplies weapons, training, and advice to the Rapid Intervention Battalion (BIR)—an elite unit using Israeli armored vehicles and suppressing internal rebellions. Former Israelis (Mossad, IDF) manage some of the training.
- Economic and Technological: Assistance in agriculture, health (e.g., fighting Ebola), education, and water. Israel donated COVID masks and trains Cameroonian doctors.
- Political: Cameroon supports Israel at the UN, votes against anti-Israel resolutions, and does not recognize a Palestinian state (along with Eritrea, the only ones in Africa).
- Anu: God of the heavens, father of the pantheon (like Brahma in Hinduism, creator of the cosmos).
- Enlil: God of wind/storm, ruler of fate, decider of the flood (like Indra/Zeus, god of storms and war).
- Enki (Ea): God of wisdom, water, creation—created humanity, saved it from the flood (like Vishnu/Shiva, preserver/destroyer).
- Marduk: Son of Enki, god of war/storm, defeater of chaos (like Thor/Skanda).
- Ninurta: Son of Enlil, god of agriculture/war, defeater of dragons (like Indra).
- Ishtar (Inanna): Goddess of love/war, fertility/destruction (like Kali/Durga).
- Nanna/Sin: God of the moon, wisdom/fate (linked to Islam, moon symbol).
- Anki Yahweh = Enki = Shiva: "Anki Yahweh your God" (Exodus 20)—"Anki" resembles "Enki." Enki: God of water, wisdom, creator of man (mixing blood), saver from flood (Ziusudra/Noah). Shiva: God of destruction/creation, serpent around neck (like Enki with serpent), dances on chaos (like Enki controlling water/Abzu). Both linked to water (Ganges/Abzu), fertility (Shiva lingam = Enki as "lord of the earth"), and hidden wisdom. In Hinduism, Shiva is "Mahadev" (great lord), like Enki as "father of gods." Yahweh: Creator god, flood, laws—similar to Enki giving "ME" (cosmic laws).
- Ganesha = Ningishzida: Ganesha: Son of Shiva, elephant head (wisdom symbol), gatekeeper, serpent around belly. Ningishzida: Son of Enki, god of serpents/healing (caduceus), guardian of Anunnaki gates, double serpent symbol (like DNA). Both tied to wisdom, writing (Ganesha writes Mahabharata), healing.
- Skanda/Murugan = Marduk: Skanda (Kartikeya): Son of Shiva, war god, rides peacock, defeats demons. Marduk: Son of Enki, storm/war god, defeats Tiamat (chaos dragon), dragon/serpent symbol. Both "warrior sons," control storms, defeat cosmic enemies (Skanda defeats Taraka, Marduk Tiamat).
- Ninurta = Indra: Ninurta: Son of Enlil, agriculture/war god, defeats Anzu (storm bird). Indra: Storm/rain god, defeats Vritra (dragon), brings fertility. Both with thunder weapons (vajra/arrow), linked to mountains/agriculture.
- Ishtar = Vali/Kali/Durga: Ishtar: Goddess of war/love, dances destruction, defeats enemies. Kali/Durga: Goddesses of destruction/war, dance on corpses, fertility/death. Shared symbols: Protruding tongue, destruction dance, victory over demons.
- Enlil: God of storm/fate, decides on flood (destroyer), controls air/earth.
- Sin (Nanna): Son of Enlil, moon god, wisdom/fate, temple in Ur (crescent moon). Sunni-Shia axis: Sunnis (Saudi Arabia)—emphasis on law/fate (Sharia), moon/star symbol (like Sin). Shia (Iran)—emphasis on suffering/redemption, but linked to Enlil as "harsh rule." This is an axis of "order/punishment" versus Enki's axis of "compassion/creation." Historically, Islam is tied to Sin (Allah=Sin in Babylon, mosques with moon).
- Russia = Ninurta: Bear (earthly power), double-headed eagle (like Ninurta with eagle/storm bird). Russia as "cold/agricultural empire," defeating "dragons" (like Ninurta). Putin as "warrior/farmer" figure.
- Enlil = Sweden: Enlil god of wind/north, Sweden northern/cold, three crowns symbol (cosmic rule), emphasis on order/equality (like Enlil distributing fates). Also Norway/Denmark—Vikings with storm gods (Thor=Enlil).
- Further Expansion:
- USA = Marduk: Eagle (Marduk symbol), liberty/storm (defeats chaos), new Babylon (Washington as Babylon).
- China = Enlil/Sin: Dragon (defeated chaos), moon (moon festivals), central rule/fate (like Enlil).
- Iran = Ishtar: Goddess of war/fertility, lion/sun symbol (like Ishtar), Persian history with destruction goddesses.
- Britain = Enki: Water island, wisdom/empire (like Enki builder), lion/serpent symbol.
- Egypt = Thoth (linked to Enki): Wisdom/writing, Nile=water.
- Japan = Ninurta: Samurai/agriculture, defeats storms.
- Serpents as Carriers of Divine Knowledge—One of the most vivid parallels. Enki is always depicted with the caduceus (two serpents around a staff) or a serpent emerging from shoulders. This symbolizes imparting forbidden knowledge to humanity (ME—cosmic laws). Shiva—with Vasuki (great serpent) around his neck, and his third eye—also a symbol of "inner knowledge," destroying illusions. In ancient astronaut theories, this is interpreted as DNA helix (double serpent spiral = DNA double helix), which Enki/Shiva allegedly "implanted" in humanity during genetic engineering.
- Role as Savior from Flood/Catastrophe—Enki saved Ziusudra from the Great Flood against Enlil's decision. Shiva (in some Puranas) is associated with Pralaya—cosmic dissolution/flood, but he also saves through knowledge and transformation. Podcasts suggest: Shiva is the "memory" of Enki in Indian tradition after knowledge migration from Mesopotamia to the Indus Valley (Indus civilization ~3300–1300 BCE, with trade links to Sumer).
- Kailasa Temple (Ellora Caves)—One of the most discussed "proofs." The temple is carved top-down from a monolithic rock (volume ~200,000 tons of stone removed). No tool marks, no inscriptions about builders. Theory: It's not just a temple but a refuge/portal from the flood, built by Enki/Shiva. In "Kailasa Mystery" (2025), they directly ask: "Is Shiva just another name for the Anunnaki god Enki?" and link it to vimanas (flying crafts) as Anunnaki technology.
- Enki—god of wisdom and creation, but also "disrupter of plans" (saves humanity from annihilation).
- Shiva—destroyer (Tandava—dance of destruction), but destruction is necessary for new creation cycle (Shiva-Nataraja dances on the demon of ignorance). This isn't a contradiction but a unified function: The old must go for the new to emerge. In theories—Enki/Shiva as humanity's "programmer": Creates, imparts knowledge, but allows "reboot" (flood/pralaya) if the experiment goes awry.
- Marduk (Enki's son) defeats Tiamat (chaos-sea) → Skanda/Murugan (Shiva's son) defeats Taraka (chaos demon). Both—warriors on "vehicles" (Marduk on dragon/storm, Skanda on peacock).
- Ningishzida (Enki's son, serpent and healing god) → Ganesha (Shiva's son, elephant-headed, serpent around belly, god of wisdom and obstacles). Both—gate guardians, healers, linked to writing/knowledge.
- Academic science: No direct evidence of identification. Enki—Mesopotamian, Shiva—from proto-Indian/Vedic tradition. Similarities—archetypes (water, serpent, wisdom, flood) found in nearly all cultures.
- But in alternative history (Sitchin, Hancock, modern podcasts), this is explained by shared "cosmic memory" or contact.
