Russia and China are Frenemies of Israel

Let's face reality, Russia has existentially hostile intentions towards Israel in its planned WWIII and China has existentially hostile intentions towards Israel in its planned WWIV. Israel's interest is to make sure that Moscow and Beijing never turn into enemies and so the key is to prevent world war. Israel needs to balance its policy vis-a-vis Beijing in helping contain China while maintaining friendly relations with the Chinese government with emphasis on containment. Similarly must Israel covertly deliver high tech weaponry to Ukraine in order to defeat Russia while maintaining friendly relations with the Russian government. It is thus essential to share military high tech technology with Ukraine while denying Chinese companies access to advanced Israeli technologies with dual usage. Israel must internalize that it is in its interest to fully participate on the American side in Washington's struggle against Russia and competition with China. Yet, it is nevertheless in Jerusalem's interest that Moscow and Beijing remain reserve allies of Israel and never become strong enough to threaten the Jewish state.
