A China-Taiwan war could break out next unless the war in Israel is put to an end, the former chairman of the US Holocaust Memorial council has said
A China-Taiwan war could break out next unless the war in Israel is put to an end, the former chairman of the US Holocaust Memorial council has said.
Fred Zeidman claims the widespread conflict across the globe is causing the US to be spread "too thin to truly defend itself".
It comes after Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel last weekend which has seen at least 2,500 people in Israel and Gaza killed, and thousands others left injured.
Speaking to GB News, Zeidman explained that following the Russian war on Ukraine and the latest violence in Israel, it is just a matter of time before conflict between China and Taiwan strikes again.
The oil tycoon said: "We've already seen Russia take their shot, which they're doing in Ukraine. And and by the way, there is no doubt that should they prevail in Ukraine, they're not going to stop there.
"You're going to see all the other countries on the Baltic, and they're going to recreate what they had before the USSR.
"And they will very easily go into Poland if we're not standing up to our obligations in NATO, which we obviously have not honoured in Ukraine, we showed our lack of resolve in Afghanistan.
"Is that going to take them right into Western Europe? It very well could."
The number of United States citizens confirmed killed in the Israel-Hamas war has risen to at least 27, says the US Department of State.
Zeidman added: "We've got Iran flexing their muscle, taking on the West's only ally in the Middle East.
"And the other shoe that's going to drop before this is over, if we don't stop it now is China and Taiwan, and you're going to see that next.
"They're trying to spread the United States too thin to truly defend itself. But historically, the United States and Great Britain have shown no willingness to step in and defend our freedoms.
"We've become more isolationist over time and we're seeing more and more of that.
"So I think the next few days, the next week or so is going to flush that out pretty well.
"I know got a call a couple days ago from the Israeli government saying, Fred, be ready because right now, because of the massacres that have gone on, Israel's got the world's sympathy, which it's never had before.
