Israel Accuses China of Arming Hezbollah Amid Rising Middle East Tensions
Israel's ambassador to Germany, Ron Prosor, has made serious allegations against China. He claims the country has been supplying air defence systems and offensive missile components to Hezbollah, a Lebanese Shia political party and militant group. The Israeli government has demanded Hezbollah's disarmament as a condition for ending its strikes.
Prosor's allegations come amidst ongoing tensions between Israel and Hezbollah. The group launched attacks on Israel during the Gaza war, and Israel retaliated, nearly eliminating Hezbollah's entire leadership. However, Prosor's claims about Chinese involvement are yet to be substantiated. Searches did not identify a specific Chinese official responsible for these supplies.
The German government, meanwhile, has no knowledge of such reports. Stefan Kornelius, a German government spokesman, stated they have no independent information on the matter. Prosor also alleges China is seeking to strengthen ties with Iran by exploiting Russia's waning influence.
Israel's ambassador Ron Prosor has raised concerns about China's alleged support for Hezbollah. While these claims are serious, they currently lack concrete evidence. The German government has no independent information on the matter, and the situation remains under scrutiny.
