China and Qatar are influencing Western media against Israel, Prime Minister Netanyahu is warning.

Netanyahu made the point directly in recent days.

On Monday September 15, speaking to a delegation of visiting state legislators from the U.S. that organizers described as the largest delegation of American legislators to ever visit Israel, Netanyahu said that there is an “active effort to erode” U.S. support for Israel.

“We will have to do several things to break loose from this siege that is organized by a few states. One is China, and the other is Qatar. And they are organizing an attack on Israel, legitimacy, in the social media of the Western world and the United States. We will have to counter it, and we will counter it with our own efforts,” Netanyahu said.
