Israel is vowing to take tough measures to prevent China from using a second port facility in Haifa as a basis for surveillance, as a headache caused by a 2014 deal to modernize Israeli shipping continues to grow. The post Israel Vows ‘Draconian’ Measures to Contain Chinese Influence at Haifa Port appeared first on Breitbart.
Israel plans strict measures to limit Chinese influence at Haifa Port due to security concerns arising from a 2014 deal allowing Chinese state-owned SIPG to operate a terminal. This deal, intended to modernize Israeli shipping, has faced criticism and scrutiny, particularly from the U.S., due to China's potential for surveillance and geopolitical expansion. The deal raised concerns due to its proximity to Israeli submarines and that the cabinet and National Security Council had no input on the deal. An Indian company, Adani, now operates an older port facility in Haifa.
