Gideon Bromberg, the Israeli CEO of Ecopeace Middle East, stated in a Reshet Bet radio interview on Wednesday that India strongly desires the India-Middle East-Europe (IMEC) trade corridor to pass through Israel. He described the project as having "enormous economic and political significance" for Israel, but stressed that integration requires advancing regional cooperation with neighboring countries.
The Zioneer has previously reported on the strategic importance of the IMEC corridor, which is designed to link India to Europe via the Middle East, bypassing the Strait of Hormuz. Prior coverage highlighted a rivalry between Israel and Turkey over the route, with Turkey and Syria reportedly seeking to advance an alternative corridor that would exclude Israel. Israeli analysts have described IMEC as a potential counterweight to Iranian influence and a key driver of regional economic integration.
The project remains in the planning stages, with no formal agreement on the final route. The Israeli government has not yet issued an official response to Bromberg's remarks.
