15 June 2023 at 17:15. From today nothing will be the same for Israel. Why? Because of the triangle force of China-Saudi Arabia-Iran that will promote the end of the Israeli occupation of Palestine and the establishment of the State of Palestine as an Independent Country. President China not only speaks about the ‘Two-state Solution’ but also about the establishment of the State of Palestine based on 1967 borders, which totally contradicts the viewpoint of Netanyahu’s far-right government. However, the story here is much more complicated. Saudi Arabia and Iran are old rivals, yet recently, they re-established their diplomatic relations under China's mediating, still, Saudi Arabia and Iran have shared for long the ‘baby’ - Palestine, so if a country like China would like to be a close ally of both Saudi Arabia and Iran, then it must go through the ‘baby’ - Palestine. Therefore, if Netanyahu believes that the international trade between Israel and China will be a factor for China, then he is totally wrong because for China, Saudi Arabia and Iran - USA is a closet ally of Israel yet a prominent rival of China and Iran and even recently, a ‘cold ally’ of Saudi Arabia. Hence, under the triangle force of China-Saudi Arabia-Iran, my prediction is that Israel will be pushed to end the occupation of Palestine, nicely or harshly, yet nothing will eventually stop the realisation of this goal by China.
