While
Israel has been focusing on Russia’s military presence in Syria, another
alarming development has begun. China has decided to give aid to Syria in the
form of communications equipment.
According
to the official statement published
by Beijing, China and Syria inked the deal at the Chinese embassy in Syria on
July 20th.
While
its not clear what kind of communications equipment, the deal includes, Israeli
sources told Breaking Defense the following:
“We
have indications that Chinese experts visited in recent months some Syrian
military installations that were damaged heavily during the civil war. We
believe that many [facilities] of the Syrian army will be rebuilt by the
Chinese, who have the capability of bringing in thousands of workers to
complete the work in the shortest time.”
This
development is obviously worrying for Israel and brings another major world
power into any potential conflict between the Jewish State and Iran including
Hezbollah and Syria.
With
Russia and China prepared to join up with Israel’s enemies at the same time
that the USA appears to be on the retreat, Israel is essentially alone once
again to fend for itself.
