To avoid tensions with Washington, Israel coordinated with the Biden administration in advance of a high-level tech and economy summit held virtually with Chinese officials on Monday, two Israeli officials tell Axios.Monday's summit, led by Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid and Chinese Vice President Wang Qishan, followed low-profile consultations on China last month between the U.S. and Israeli governments — a sensitive issue given U.S.
Many of these issues are at the center of the Biden administration's concerns. Both the Trump and Biden administrations have expressed concern in particular over Chinese investments in Israeli infrastructure projects.The Israeli Foreign Ministry notified the State Department of the gathering in advance “at a senior working level" and the U.S. didn't raise any concerns, an Israeli official told Axios.
Both Israeli officials stressed they were cognizant of U.S. concerns and wanted to proceed with maximum transparency. The State Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.On Dec. 14, Israeli and U.S. teams led by the deputy national security advisers from both sides held wide-ranging talks on China policy. A week later, national security adviser Jake Sullivan raised some of the same issues with Lapid and Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett while visiting Israel.

U.S. carriers in South China Sea, Taiwan reports further Chinese incursionTwo U.S. aircraft carrier groups have entered the disputed South China Sea for training, the Department of Defense said on Monday as Taiwan reported a new Chinese air force incursion at the top of the waterway including a fearsome new electronic warfare jet. If China and Russia coordinate simultaneous invasions, western countries will be caught looking dumb and then decide they don’t really want any part of it. More of the same Goebbelsian LIES from our Reuters propagandist hacks: there can be no 'incursion' in a ADIZ which has zero legal meaning, moreover when this farcical one is covering large parts of mainland China. Hegemony & warmongering China in action…😡 China Taiwan

Fourth COVID vaccine shot raises resistance to serious illness for over-60s: IsraelA fourth dose of COVID-19 vaccine given to people over 60 in Israel made them three times more resistant to serious illness than thrice-vaccinated people in the same age group, Israel's Health Ministry said on Sunday. A preliminary study published by Israel's Sheba medical centre last Monday found that the fourth shot increases antibodies to even higher levels than the third but 'probably' not to the point that it could completely fend off the highly transmissible Omicron variant. Israel began offering a fourth dose of the Pfizer/BioNtech vaccine to people over 60 earlier this month as Omicron swept the country.
