China toward Israel
China faces US sanctions threats over Iran links, conducted joint military drills with Egypt that drew Israeli concern, and Xi is pushing a new Middle East security framework that implicitly challenges US-Israel dominance. Israel shut its Chengdu consulate citing China deepening ties with Iran and Arab states, signaling deteriorating relations.
Israel toward China
Israel's closure of its Chengdu consulate amid 'growing strain in ties' and concerns over China-Egypt military drills and China's Iran links indicate clear Israeli unfriendliness; Israeli media frames China's regional rise as a security risk.
