Israel closes Chengdu consulate as diplomatic friction with China rises
Israel has closed its consulate general located in Chengdu, China, as relations between the two nations become increasingly strained. The move follows Beijing's warming ties with Iran. Additionally, China has consistently called for a ceasefire in Gaza, while reaffirming its backing for the Palestinian cause and a two-state solution. Aside from the now-closed Chengdu office, Israel maintains an embassy in Beijing and consulates in Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Hong Kong.
