Now I have to make a decision: either Iran signs the agreement, or it will not exist anymore

The security, intelligence and economic partnership that Israel has established with the Gulf emirates constitutes a strategic asset, especially toward Iran in the fields of air defense, cyber and maritime security, energy and technology; on the other hand, the rapprochement of these countries with China may create tensions in the triangle of relations between Israel, the United States and the Gulf, and force Tel Aviv to manage a more cautious and sensitive diplomacy.

The reason for Israeli concern lies in China's unwillingness to exert real pressure on Iran, alongside the continuation of its economic, security and political relations with it, and for Israel, this constitutes a double challenge.

The three-day summit between Donald Trump and Xi Jinping in Washington constituted another milestone in the strategic competition between the world's two largest economies, although it was not a positive indicator for Israel: China continues its pursuit of stability in the Gulf to ensure energy flows, while at the same time benefiting from its relations with Tehran and Riyadh as a means of diplomatic and economic pressure.

When I fell to the ground, I felt the plane plunging downward. I knew with certainty: if I made one last push, one last effort… the door is right there. And even though I was receiving more and more blows, as soon as I opened it, everyone entered. Everyone had an equal role in that. I told myself I was doing this for my life, but at the same time I knew I could not leave everyone there to die.

The Energy Minister Joe Saddi is selling us fake 'achievements' by canceling the gasoline tax, which he had already signed off on, and with the stroke of a pen he raises generator pricing by 10% under the pretext of a 'network longer than 300 meters'! This decision will give generator owners additional annual profits on top of their imaginary profits exceeding $300 million!!!! Who is this increase for? Corruption is gnawing at the country and the citizen is paying the price out of his own pocket! Note that we previously rejected this measure because it opens the door to manipulation and corruption!
