While Trump's open support for Israel did play a part in the background, the key reasons for this change have been

1. india's pro-Hindu PM, Narendra Modi, winning a second term
2. India's economy going great guns, reducing dependence on money coming back from the Gulf
3. India diversifying its oil sources
4. India's increasing belligerence to Islam
5. Israel's outreach and steadfast alliance with India
6. Israel tying up with india in the IT space -- so all those call-centers are tied to the Israeli IT world

Israel has made strong diplomatic inroads on lots of places. The UN angle never occurred to me. But in almost any disaster you find Israel Jonny-on-the-spot with personnel, body searching dogs, and medical support.

Israel can’t afford to make any assumptions about a ‘diverse’ America after 2020, or especially after 2024.
