The reason why the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been dragging on until now is not only because of the deep hatred between the two sides in history, but also because the United States and Israel continue to incite the situation. In this context, just after China stood up for Iran and said a few fair words at the United Nations, Israel turned around and reached cooperation with the Philippines on the South China Sea issue.

According to reports, Israel recently announced the delivery of two ATR-72-600 maritime patrol aircraft to the Philippines. The two patrol aircraft are equipped with new engines and avionics systems, as well as multi-mode X-band surveillance radars, and their comprehensive performance far exceeds similar aircraft currently equipped by the Philippines.

When facing the Chinese Coast Guard's law enforcement, the Philippines lacks monitoring power the most, so it is always one step behind. The cost of replacing patrol ships in a short period of time is too high. After all, most of the Philippine naval warships are "second-hand goods" that are close to retirement in various countries, and it cannot afford to replace them. But the cost of replacing patrol aircraft is very low, and the Marcos government can come up with this money. It is reported that the modification contract value of these two ATR-72-600s is only US$112 million. According to the range of the ATR-72-600 maritime patrol aircraft, once the Philippines is equipped with this patrol aircraft, most of the South China Sea will be under the surveillance of the Philippines.
