Egypt-China ties worry Israel
The upcoming visit of Chinese President Xi Jinping to Egypt raises Israeli concerns over enhanced Egyptian-Chinese military cooperation, especially amid increasing discussions about deals to purchase J-10C fighter jets and to develop Egyptian air capabilities using Chinese technology. Such developments could diminish Israel's regional dominance and impact the balance of power in the area. Air exercises and Chinese aircraft displays are among the issues that particularly irritate Israel, in addition to economic and technological cooperation, which give Egypt greater flexibility to diversify its weapons sources and conduct business away from American and Israeli pressures. Israel is deeply worried about the evolving military and economic relations between Cairo and Beijing, as these could pave the way for advanced arms deals and shift the regional power dynamics in the Middle East.
