3…………> US/Israel Friendship: Mr.Xi’s “Monkey Wrench”

 

 

” The US Navy said it might halt operations in Haifa once a Chinese firm takes over the port in 2021, following an agreement with Israel’s national security cabinet”, as retired Admiral Gary Roughead, ex-chief of US naval operations, warned that a “Chinese-run seaport in the bay could force the navy to dock its warships elsewhere. ” 

“The Chinese port operators will be able to monitor US ship movements closely, be aware of maintenance activity and could have access to equipment moving to and from repair sites and interact freely with our crews over protracted periods,” Roughead said during a conference last month at the University of Haifa.

“Our US Navy ships frequently visit Haifa, Israel, for both US-Israel bilateral military activity and port calls,” Commander Kyle Raines told the Post when asked whether China’s coming presence might affect fleet operations in the Mediterranean port.

“For now, there are no changes to our operations in Israel”.

Haifa, the largest port city in Israel, has regularly hosted US-Israeli naval drills and American ships. A senior IDF officer confirmed that the review of the deal was approved by Israel Katz, who was serving as transportation minister at the time and has remained in the position since A representative of the US Sixth Fleet said that the partnership with Israel remains “steadfast.”
