Mike Pompeo took a thinly veiled swipe at China when he told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, ‘You’re a great partner, you share information - unlike some other countries that try and obfuscate and hide that information’
U.S. President Donald Trump and his senior officials have engaged in a war of words with China, where the new coronavirus first emerged, saying it failed to inform the world fast enough about the dangers it posed and muzzled those who raised the alarm. Beijing strongly denies the charges.
Earlier, Pompeo repeated Washington’s charges against Beijing in an interview for the Israel Hayom newspaper. The United States has previously cautioned Israel against potential security threats from Chinese investment in Israel, prompting the Netanyahu government to set up a committee last October to vet such projects.
Pompeo was to meet later with Benny Gantz, Netanyahu’s political rival turned designated coalition partner. The two are scheduled due to swear in their new government on Thursday. “There remains work yet to do and we need to make progress on that - I’m looking forward to it,” Pompeo said.
