>Bunting’s map and Israel on China’s new silk road
>Thus the rise of Israel as a key node in China’s Silk Road grand strategy not only elevates Jerusalem in China’s strategic calculus, but as Jean Michel Valantin of The Red Team Analysis Society argued, also presents a new status of Israel from a “protected power” of the US to an “integrated regional power” in its own right, transforming Israel’s traditional narrative of seeking “protectors” to one of seeking partners.

>The end of America's hegemony isn't the end of the world
>Another possibility is the disintegration of the geopolitical unit known as “the West,” and Europe’s integration into a new, EURO-ASIAN world order. After all, Berlin is closer to Delhi than it is to New York, and the same goes for Tel Aviv

>If the United States does not continue to recognize Israel's sovereignty in the Golan Heights and drastically changes Trump's Iran policy, Israel will have to consider building a stronger relationship with Russia and China. Till now, Israel has always considered American nterests in relations to Russia and China. In the past, we even cancelled a major arms deal with China in order to appease the United States. Yet if Biden reneges on America's recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights and signs a nuclear deal with Iran, a deal that endangers the existence and the security of the State of Israel, we must work to build stronger strategic ties to China and Russia, starting with the Haifa port deal.

>China’s Belt and Road Initiative, in seeking to connect China to Central Asia and eventually to Europe, will have the practical significance of shifting the world’s centre of gravity from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and will involve the cultures of EURASIA, each of whom will have to decide what relationship to this region they will see, and so will the United States
- Henry Kissinger
