Israel's 'isolation' is not caused by others, but of its own making

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently claimed that countries such as China and Qatar are "investing in artificial intelligence technologies" and using social media to enforce an "information blockade "against Israel. Such remarks are just a ploy to deflect attention from the real reasons behind Israel's growing international isolation — its actions in Gaza and its long-standing disregard for a just settlement of the Palestinian question.

The Chinese embassy in Israel has firmly denied Netanyahu's accusations. China's position on the Palestine-Israel conflict is clear — it advocates dialogue, reconciliation and a comprehensive political solution rather than confrontation or disinformation. To accuse China of orchestrating some "information blockade" not only misrepresents facts, but also risks further distracting the international community from the urgent task of ending the Gaza conflict.

What Israel today describes as "isolation" is in fact the outcome of its own policies. For months, the world has seen mounting civilian casualties and a worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza. It is the relentless images of devastated communities, hospitals running out of supplies, and children bearing the brunt of violence that have sparked worldwide outrage not "AI technologies" or "social media manipulation".
