Israeli Lawmakers Rally for Taiwan’s Global Recognition, Defying China

In a rare show of cross-party unity, over 70 members of Israel’s Knesset have signed a declaration supporting Taiwan’s inclusion in international organizations. The lawmakers praised Taiwan’s steadfast support for Israel, especially during recent conflicts, and called for the global community to recognize Taiwan’s role. This move comes despite strong warnings from China, which opposes any official recognition of Taiwan. The gesture highlights growing ties between Israel and Taiwan, as well as the complex diplomatic balancing act Israel faces with China. The declaration underscores gratitude for Taiwan’s friendship and urges the world to end its exclusion from global forums.
