I would give more weight to economic factors, which favour an early, durable end to this conflict. March has been a horrendous month for the Indian economy. Should the war continue for some more time, all budgetary estimates about growth, inflation, foreign exchange would come undone. The worst contingency would be a sort of nuclear winter descending on the region, with both sides destroying productive assets, power and other infrastructure, even desalination plants in a desert region. That would reduce the need for ten million Indian guest workers. 2. The war has not gone well, or according to ( Bibi’s ) plan for USA. No regime change. The possibility of Strait of Hormuz being sealed was not given the weightage it deserved. Now upending the energy economy for all importing nations, most of all developing countries. Trump was looking for an exit. The biggest loser from this war ( Economist ). 3. Israel has become a law unto itself. Needs to be disciplined, something USA alone can and should do. Its expansive definition of its Right to exist is setting the region aflame. 4. Gulf states, dare one say this, have been unwise, not appreciating how their economic transition and transformation requires an orderly peaceful West Asia which the Netanyahu vision does not cater to. 5. I have a very soft corner for Pakistan, so let us leave it at that.
