- A trade corridor linking India to Europe via the Middle East and Israel has stalled three years after its announcement.
- The initiative aims to bypass traditional shipping routes like the Strait of Hormuz.
- Threats from Iran and the Houthis to maritime navigation pose significant challenges to the corridor.

Three years after its announcement, the ambitious plan to establish a trade corridor linking India to Europe via the Persian Gulf states and Israel has yet to gain momentum. The initiative, intended to bypass traditional shipping routes like the Strait of Hormuz, faces significant hurdles, including threats from Iran and the Houthis to maritime navigation.
This delay raises concerns that Israel may miss a historic opportunity to become a major international trade hub. The corridor's success is seen as crucial for enhancing regional connectivity and economic growth, particularly in light of ongoing security challenges in key waterways.
Analysts suggest that the project's stagnation could have long-term strategic implications for Israel, potentially diminishing its role in future global trade networks. The urgency to advance the corridor is amplified by the need for stable and secure alternative routes for international commerce.
