The Foreign Ministry reportedly warned the security cabinet in a recent meeting that Israel is headed toward a confrontation with US President Donald Trump’s administration unless tight restrictions are imposed on Chinese investments in the country.
As a result, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu decided to postpone a vote, planned for the July 24 meeting, on establishing a mechanism for monitoring Chinese investments in Israel, and ordered discussions in order to revise the plan so that it would satisfy the White House, Channel 13 reported Monday, citing two unnamed ministers who participated in the meeting.
In March, Trump reportedly warned Netanyahu that if Israel did not curb its ties with China, its security relationship with the United States could suffer.
Similar messages have reportedly been relayed in recent months by top Trump administration officials, including National Security Adviser John Bolton and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.
The report described the matter as the chief cause of friction between the Trump administration and Netanyahu’s government in the last two years. It quoted senior Israeli officials as saying the Americans have in recent months expressed irritation due to perceived foot-dragging by Netanyahu.
During the security cabinet discussion, Foreign Ministry staff panned the suggestion by National Security Adviser Meir Ben Shabbat for a supervision mechanism, saying it was too weak and didn’t include monitoring of high-tech investments, a sensitive issue for Washington.
“If the decision we make doesn’t satisfy the Americans, it might cause a confrontation with the United States,” they were quoted as saying.
However, Finance Ministry representatives reportedly warned that tightening the supervision too much and restricting high-tech investments could harm Israeli companies and lead others to move their operations outside of the country.

If true, not good.
Why???
Would we lose a war without them?
Would our country crumble from a bad relationship with them.
We do a Lot for them and they WILL do this for us.
America is my country.
Everything else is second.
Why?
Bibi better get his act together here. China is already managing the Panama Canal, and could cause all sorts of problems for the U.S in a conflict situation. Israel should NEVER turn over control of any of their Ports to China. Are they nuts or have a death wish? China tried to get control of one of our major Ports (was it in CA?) but didn’t succeed (I have to research this again as I forget the details.)
Move the U.S. embassy from Jerusalem to Baghdad and then hold any further negotiations there.
Israel is tiny but our best ally. Their engineering talent is legendary, they usually vastly improve the weapons systems they’re gifted and sold.
Do they often illegally re-sell our stuff to our main adversary, CHINA..?
Yes, they do. They often do.

Genesis 12:3.
That is very bad if it is true.
Probably explains a lot of what is going on actually.
The assumption is China is spying on advanced Israeli research projects and/or Israel is selling China technology jointly developed and funded by the US.
Trump is telling them to knock it off or lose funding and cooperation from the US.
