Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described his country’s bilateral relationship with a superpower as one of nuptial bliss.
Netanyahu says he wasn’t talking about Washington and arguably one of the most pro-Israeli US administrations in history. He was speaking about China.
He says the value of trade between the two countries grew from roughly $1bn at the turn of the century, to a little over $11.2bn in 2019.
He says China currently stands as Israel’s second-largest trading partner behind the US.
