The foreign policy is constantly changing and evolving under the influence of structural factors, internal dynamics, intentions and motivations of leaders. Meanwhile, India's foreign policy as an emerging power has undergone significant changes since the right-wing government of Narendra Modi came to power. These changes are reflected in India's new policy towards West Asia, titled "Thinking West" and increasing political, military and economic interactions with like-minded actors in the region such as Israel. The aim of this research is to identify the roots of change in India's foreign policy towards the West Asia region, and especially Israel, during the Narendra Modi era.

This article is a descriptive analysis-based research and uses a qualitative method to analyze the collected data. The research data was collected using documentary methods and relying on library sources, articles and statements of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Indian leaders.

The research findings show that India's strategic culture, influenced by macro inputs such as the strategic environment and micro inputs such as cultural, security, economic, and diplomatic factors, has influenced the country's foreign policy towards Israel.

The research results indicate that although changes in the geopolitical environment over the past decade have been effective in pushing India and Israel towards each other, under the influence of India's strategic culture, this change has occurred gradually and has led to the formation of the India-Israel strategic partnership.
