India said its dual-use exports to Israel and other countries comply with national law and international obligations, responding to allegations that Indian military supplies could be used in Gaza. External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said India maintains a robust legal and regulatory framework for strategic trade controls. The ministry did not address the report’s shipment figures or specific companies. India and Israel have expanded defense and technology cooperation, including joint research, artificial intelligence and innovation initiatives.
