The incompetence of the administration is just mind boggling. Now, they are trying to backtrack on the troops withdrawal announcement. They also think they can scare the Israelis with the same "dangerous Chinese communications technology" story they are using in Europe now.
U.S. National Security Adviser John Bolton will tell Israeli leaders that there is no timetable for an American military pullout from Syria, two weeks after President Donald Trump’s announcement of a rapid withdrawal of U.S. forces.

Bolton also plans to raise concerns about the penetration of Chinese technology in Israel, and direct investment by China in the country, particularly in the port of Haifa, the official said, adding that the Chinese telecommunication companies Huawei Technologies Ltd. and ZTE Corp. would be brought up in those discussions.
