I can’t believe how upside down the world is.
Why not give the contracts to U.S. firms since we’re “Israel’s greatest ally?” Why the Red Chinese? Put your money where your mouth is…
So, in the midst of a U.S.-China rivalry, why not take the side of the U.S.? Are they playing both sides of the trade war? For one thing, they know Biden won’t call them out on it…

“Israel is a small country that is very dependent on trade. The US is its most important ally but it also needs to look out for its own interests. There is a fundamental understanding that the US-China rivalry is here to stay and will accompany us for many years,” said Catarivas, who also served as the first economic counselor of Israel in Beijing over 30 years ago.
Amid a US-China trade war that has ebbed and flowed in recent years under both the Trump and Biden administrations, Israel and China have seen warming relations and more interest in Israeli innovations, especially in medical tech, robotics, food tech, and artificial intelligence.
