Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu will leave this afternoon for a five-day trip to China, where he will try to bring Israel’s perspectives on a slew of regional issues such as Iran, Syria and Egypt to the country’s new leadership.
Netanyahu will be meeting with the new Chinese president, Xi Jinping, as well as with the country’s new prime minister, Li Keqiang, in an effort to shape their impressions of the Middle East as they begin what is expected to be a decade of rule.
While two previous attempts to arrange a visit by Netanyahu failed to materialize, the trip is being viewed in Jerusalem as an excellent opportunity to present Israel’s case at the highest levels just as the new Beijing government is beginning to formulate policy.
Government officials said it was very unlikely that Netanyahu would meet in China with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, who will be in the country at the same time. Abbas is due to arrive in Beijing on Sunday and leave Tuesday evening, while Netanyahu will first be traveling to Shanghai, arriving in Beijing only on Wednesday.
When asked at a press conference Friday about a possible meeting, a Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman said that “if the leaders of Palestine and Israel have the will to meet in China, China is willing to offer necessary assistance.”
