❗️Taiwan defends ties with Israel, citing unmatched support amid Gaza genocide
According to AP, Taiwan intends to deepen relations with Israel despite international criticism over Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza, Foreign Minister Lin Chia-Lung said Wednesday, arguing that Israel has shown stronger support for Taiwan than any other Middle Eastern nation. Lin cited a declaration signed earlier this year by 72 Israeli lawmakers backing Taiwan’s inclusion in key international organizations as evidence of that support.
Lin said Taiwan “will be friendly to countries that are friendly to us,” while criticizing Palestine for siding with Beijing’s “One-China” principle. He added that Taipei aims to align its human rights stance with its national interests, noting that Taiwanese diplomats have been instructed not to take sides when it comes to the genocide in Gaza but to focus on humanitarian aid. “We provide a lot of humanitarian support to both sides, including Gaza and Palestine,” he said.
The minister declined to clarify whether Taiwan had dropped plans to donate to a medical center in an Israeli settlement in the occupied West Bank, a move previously condemned by rights groups.
