there you discuss about the collaboration between India and the Israeli companies How important it is at this moment, uh, Israeli companies to come to start ups to come to India, as you mentioned in your speech and how the two countries and companies in two countries can work together. Well, in this boot camp, we have concentrated in introducing A I tools in different fields like health, education and environment to local start ups that are, you know, trying to conquer markets in the world. Um, this is a very important tool, um, to introduce, you know, uh, utilisation of new technologies like a I. And it's part of the general effort we are we are making here in India to to bring, uh, India and Israel to work together on advanced technologies. Um, there are huge. Uh, there is a huge interest in Israel in the Indian market for several reasons. First of all, because India is a very vibrant market and a very young market second, because, uh, India offers things that other markets do not, uh, offer, such as, uh, a local domestic market. That is very big. Um, and also, uh, the capability to together access third markets, especially in the United States and Europe. Uh, so many Israeli companies are trying to, uh, both, uh, cooperating in order to develop together, uh, technologies also to commercialise technologies to make production here in India and to market. And this is a very important effort for us as we try to grow our technological exports and technological prowess around the world. Are you expecting any kind of policy shift? Uh, related to Israel, And, uh, and because, uh, Israel PM also talk, uh, refer to it as a greatest political comeback. How do you see all these? But it is actually quite, uh, uh, significant political. You know, uh, development in the United States. We are. We know that the the knew the trump presidency very well. We we we know how it works. Uh, we are looking forward to engaging with them. I think that during the first trump administration, a lot of achievements were, uh, were achieved in the in the Middle East, especially the Abraham Accords. We are looking forward for the extension of that. Uh, first of all, we have to concentrate in, you know, finishing the war, finishing the job. Uh, neutralising the threats that we have against us in our region. And if we are successful in neutralising those threats, I think it will lay the foundations for creating the stability and prosperity that we all want. And I am sure that India is going to be an essential part of it because it has a lot of things to offer to countries in our region. They have called for us ending support to Israel, blind support to how do you see their reaction to it? I don't think it's important. I think that what we should concentrate right now is in making sure that Gaza will no longer be held hostage by Hamas, especially not the Palestinian population. They deserve a much more moderate and mature leadership that will engage with us in creating the stability that we need in our region, in negotiating peace, in giving the Palestinians a real chance to rule themselves with a government that will actually seek seek Cooper operation and not the destruction of our country. Well, we are continuing our dialogue with the Indian government. I think that we are all waiting to a situation in which we can re engage in projects of connectivity between Asia and Europe in working together with governments in the region to lay the foundations for, um, you know, the the the logistic and economic uh, um, infrastructure that we need in order to, uh, do more trade Cooper more in technology and advanced solutions that, uh, solve day to day issues for normal people in in the world.
