An Israeli parliamentary delegation visited Taiwan, the second such delegation within a year, strengthening ties between the two countries. Taiwan and Israel have signed 33 agreements over 30 years, and the visit included the Southern Taiwan Science Park and green energy demonstration site in Tainan. President Tsai Ing-wen emphasized the strong bilateral interactions and shared values of freedom and democracy. The visit faced some backlash from the Taiwanese public, but Taiwan expressed solidarity with Israel following Iran’s missile attack and condemned the war in Gaza. Despite tensions with China, Israel-Taiwan trade continues to grow, and Taiwan seeks to learn from Israel’s defense strategies and advance cooperation in technology, innovation, and defense.
