Efraim Inbar Asia Times, Aug, 3, 2023 “It is undesirable to exacerbate tensions with the US over a non-existential issue for the State of Israel.” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has announced plans to travel to China, which has been encouraging such a visit. Netanyahu was responsible for expanding bilateral relations and helped open the hefty […]
Linette Lopez Business Insider, Aug. 29, 2023 “China’s property market makes up about 30% of the country’s GDP, making it the cornerstone of the economy. It’s also a sector where crucial data has been vanishing since the end of last year.” China’s economy is turning into a big black blob. This transformation means that […]

Jonathan S. Tobin JNS, Aug. 25, 2023 “The problem with these assumptions is that those condemning Ben-Gvir are ignoring not only the context of his comments but also why a heretofore marginal figure has risen so far in Israeli politics.” So much of what has been tearing Israel apart in the last several months […]
David Brinn Jerusalem Post, Aug. 25, 2023 “Regardless of his ideology or motives, I’ll still keep telling visitors that I really believe that Israel would like nothing better than to demolish the security barriers and dismantle the checkpoints.

Seth J. Frantzman Jerusalem Post, Aug. 24, 2023 “the real story here is the growth in influence in Middle East states. Saudi Arabia, for instance has hosted recent meetings with China. Riyadh also recently hosted Iran’s foreign minister and China has supported Iran in recent conversations with Iran’s foreign minister as well.” The BRICS economic […]
Frank Furedi Spiked, Aug. 25, 2023 “Russian foreign policy certainly benefits from an association with BRICS, but China is the main beneficiary here.
