⚡️🇺🇸🇨🇳— The agenda is set to focus on Iran, including China’s continued imports of Iranian oil and potential transfers of weapons or components to Tehran, with Washington aiming to push Beijing to use its influence to help de-escalate the conflict, stabilize energy routes, and restore disrupted maritime passages including the Strait of Hormuz.

➡️ The summit schedule in Beijing on 14–15 May includes Trump’s arrival on Wednesday evening, a formal welcome ceremony on Thursday morning, talks with Xi Jinping, a visit to the Temple of Heaven, a state banquet, and a final working tea session on Friday before departure.

Trade mechanisms on non-sensitive goods, agriculture, aerospace and energy, alongside discussions on Taiwan and AI coordination, are also expected.

💡 Expectations remain limited, with the meeting described as focused on managing tensions rather than achieving major breakthroughs, according to Bloomberg.

⚡️🇮🇱🇮🇷— Netanyahu to CBS:

➡️There is still enriched uranium that needs to be removed from Iran and the enrichment sites still need to be dismantled.

🗂The war with Iran is not over yet, despite achieving significant gains.

➡️Iran continues to support regional proxies and is working to produce ballistic missiles.

➡️We have inflicted significant damage on Iranian capabilities, but there is still work to be done.

🤔Overthrowing the Iranian regime is possible but not guaranteed, and the timing of change cannot be predicted.

🤔If the Iranian regime falls, it will mean the end of Hezbollah, Hamas, and perhaps the Houthis as well.

🚪The risks of the Strait of Hormuz being closed have become more apparent as the fighting continues.

⚡️🇮🇱— Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, speaking to CBS News’ 60 Minutes, discussed the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, prospects for a peace deal, and his conversation with U.S. President Donald Trump in the Situation Room prior to the decision to strike Iran.

➡️ He rejected the perception of an inherent “hunger for conflict,” saying he was previously seen as “perhaps the most restrained prime minister in Israel’s history” before 7 October. Netanyahu said that perception changed after the Hamas-led attack, which he described as part of what he called an “Iran axis” effort to “annihilate” Israel.

“Obviously it changed on October 7th because they were going to annihilate us,” he said. “I didn't think it was just an attack by Hamas. I saw it as an attack by the Iran axis.”

➡️ He added that on the second day of the war he told Israelis: “We’re going to change the Middle East. We’re going to change this condition where they’re ganging up on us… It’s not going to happen. Not on my watch. And I said to the Israeli citizens, not on your watch.”

⚡️🇮🇱— Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed declining U.S. public opinion toward Israel, citing a Pew survey showing 60% of Americans now view Israel unfavorably, up nearly 20 points in four years. He attributed the shift primarily to social media dynamics and the Gaza war, where the Hamas-run health ministry reports over 70,000 deaths, including civilians and militants.

➡️ Netanyahu described social media as an “eighth front” of the war, arguing it enables rapid shaping of global perception. “You can penetrate this little instrument… and I can paint you as a monster. And if I say it often enough, enough people will believe it,” he said, warning that narratives can be amplified and weaponized.

➡️ He added that younger Americans are particularly exposed to what he called “scrolling through images” of Gaza and Lebanon, where Israel is often described as “barbaric.” Netanyahu said Israel has taken extensive measures to limit civilian harm, including “millions of text messages, phone calls, pamphlets, leaflets” aimed at evacuation warnings.

“We have seen the deterioration of support for Israel in the United States almost… it correlates almost 100% with the geometric rise of social media,” he said, adding that foreign actors are manipulating platforms in “clever ways” that have “hurt us badly.”

➡️ Responding to criticism that Israeli operations may have contributed to negative perceptions, Netanyahu said: “Of course, look, it’s war. In war, armies sometimes miss, and civilians die… Israel is besieged on the media front, on the propaganda front, and we’ve not done well on the propaganda war.”

⚡️🇮🇱— In an excerpt from CBS 60 Minutes, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu discussed alleged Chinese involvement in support of Iran’s remaining military capabilities during an interview with CBS News’ Major Garrett.

➡️ Asked whether China is providing materially valuable military support to Iran, Netanyahu said: “China provided a certain amount of support and specific components for missile manufacturing. But I can't say more than that.”

Pressed on whether this concerned him, he replied: “Well, I didn't like it.” When asked if such support is ongoing, he added: “Could be. Could be. I don't want to speak for China.”

➡️ The exchange took place in the broader context of Iran’s still active missile production capacity, with Netanyahu suggesting that external supply chains remain a factor sustaining Tehran’s arsenal despite Israeli and U.S. strikes, according to the interview transcript.

⚡️🇮🇱🇺🇸— Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel should begin gradually ending its reliance on U.S. military aid, calling for a “re-examination” of the financial relationship with Washington and arguing that Israel should eventually reduce American military support to zero.

“I want to draw down to zero the American financial support,” Netanyahu said, referring to the roughly $3.8 billion Israel receives annually. “I think that it's time that we weaned ourselves from the remaining military support.” He said he has already discussed the proposal with U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli officials, suggesting the process should begin immediately and be completed over the next decade, according to his statements from CBS 60 Minutes.

ℹ️ The comments come as political resistance to foreign aid — including aid to Israel — grows within parts of both the Republican and Democratic parties in the United States ahead of the expiration of the current 10-year aid framework signed during the Obama administration.

➡️ Analysis surrounding the remarks suggests the proposal could be aimed at preempting a future political battle in Washington over renewing large-scale military aid packages. Israeli officials and pro-Israel lobbying groups are increasingly aware that continued bipartisan consensus on unconditional aid is no longer guaranteed, while debate inside the Republican Party has expanded beyond traditional foreign policy lines toward broader opposition to overseas spending.

➡️ The assessment also argues that shifting away from grant-based aid could provide Israel greater strategic and legal flexibility. Unlike U.S. military grants, direct arms purchases are less exposed to restrictions tied to American funding laws, potentially allowing Israel broader procurement options while maintaining access to U.S. weapons, joint defense projects and diplomatic backing.

💡Analysts further noted that reducing dependence on American aid aligns with a long-standing strategic current inside Israel favoring greater autonomy in regional military operations and expanded use of domestic defense production to stimulate the Israeli economy and arms export sector, according to Mondoweiss and cross-checked reports.
