Revealed: The Israeli-American Academic Gal Luft’s Efforts to Help China Establish a Foothold
\nin Israel
\nRepublicans claim Gal Luft is a potential whistleblower against U.S President Joe Biden and his son Hunter. Democrats labeled him a ‘villain.’ But the saga of the academic star turned fugitive isn’t only about him. It also sheds light on Chinese tactics being used to meddle in
\nother countries affairs

\nWASHINGTON \u2013 Israeli-American dual citizen Gal Luft has become the subject of numerous
\nconspiracy theories after being indicted for aiding the Chinese government without registering as a foreign agent. The Haifa-born academic was arrested in Cyprus last February on U.S. charges of weapons trafficking, but went on the run the following month.
\nRepublican lawmakers and right-wing media have amplified Luft\u2019s allegations that he is being targeted by the White House over his attempts to act as a whistleblower against U.S. President Joe Biden and his son Hunter.
\nDemocrats, meanwhile, have labeled Luft a \u201cvillain\u201d straight out of a James Bond movie, saying Biden\u2019s critics are placing their own animus against the president\u2019s family over U.S. security interests.
\nDespite being a fugitive, Luft has become increasingly emboldened on social media in recent days. He has amplified GOP claims about the FBI sweeping his attempts at whistleblowing under the rug, while still ostensibly attempting to remain under the radar.
\n\"\"
\n2
\nLuft, 57, actually has a decades-long record of being a widely respected voice on foreign affairs and energy policy, building off his storied career in the Israeli military. This makes his increased
\nengagement with Chinese companies closely linked to the government \u2013 and previously unreported efforts to help China establish a foothold in Israel \u2013 all the more astonishing.
\nBeyond the personal implications for Luft, the saga sheds light on Chinese tactics being used to influence Israel \u2013 an issue forcing successive U.S. administrations (both Democrat and Republican) to grow increasingly concerned with Israel\u2019s behavior.<\/p>\n

\nLuft arrived in Washington in the late 1990s to study after an illustrious stint as a lieutenant colonel in the Israeli military, where he commanded the first battalion for multiple launch rocket systems.
\nThose familiar with his career say he could have become a two-star general if he have chosen to
\nstay in the army, both due to his military aptitude and what former associates describe as keen networking skills.
\n\u201cGal is no doubt a brilliant and most talented guy. He was an impressive and original student \u2013 even a star,\u201d says Middlebury Institute of International Studies Prof. Avner Cohen.
\nLuft became an American citizen in the early 2000s, obtaining advanced degrees from Johns Hopkins University in international economics, strategic studies and Middle East studies, and started a family in the Washington suburbs.
\nAround this time, he sought to establish his own think tank, the Institute for the Analysis of Global Security, placing the onus on himself to fund research and recruit potential colleagues.
\n\u201cHe was viewed as a star in terms of his writing and ability. He took the area of global energy and international geopolitics in an interesting and innovative way. It was always intriguing to listen to him,\u201d Cohen says, \u201cbut he tried to accelerate his way to the top. His decision to establish his own think tank was probably most fateful, and probably led to his fall. I read the indictment with a lot of personal sadness. This is not the Gal I knew some 20-plus years ago.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nCohen continues: \u201cYou need to raise a lot of money and it\u2019s tough if you don\u2019t have a lot of experience. Most people follow the usual progression: you start as an academic, then become an assistant and associate professor, and then you get involved. The burden of fundraising is not new; it\u2019s just such a pressing task.\u201d
\nLuft began frequently publishing pieces in China Today \u2013 a monthly magazine that is an official outlet of the Chinese Communist Party \u2013 but told
\nassociates he was essentially doing this for free.<\/p>\n

\nIn February 2006, he told Haaretz: \u201cChina is in a relatively good position because it\u2019s not overinvested in oil. It\u2019s still making its first steps into industrialization, and it can leapfrog oil and move directly to the next sources of energy, instead of becoming dependent like the United States.\u201d
\nLuft is also known to have spoken at Israel\u2019s Institute for National Strategic Studies on the need for the international community to cut dependence on Arab oil as a security matter \u2013 a pressing concern at the time given oil prices toward the end of the Bush administration being forecast to reach nearly $200 per barrel.
\nIn 2011, he became a senior adviser to the United States Energy Security Council, which was co- founded by former CIA Director R. James Woolsey and Ronald Reagan\u2019s national security adviser, Robert C. McFarlane, and with members consisting of military and political officials from both
\npolitical parties.
\nFour years later, in 2015, Luft allegedly agreed for his think tank to receive $350,000 annually from Patrick Ho \u2013 a Chinese official who also headed an organization backed by the China Energy Company Limited (CEFC).<\/p>\n

\nLuft accompanied Patrick Ho, who headed an organization backed by the China Energy Company Limited, to Tel Aviv\u2019s annual Fuel Choices Smart Mobility Summit, a confab aimed at Israeli and international startups, financiers and policymakers
\n\u201cIt\u2019s supposedly an energy company, but it has subcompanies who do influence operations. They have a center dedicated to unification of China and Taiwan, which is understandably very unusual,\u201d says Ofir Dayan, a research assistant in the Israel-China Policy Center at INSS.
\nMcFarlane, who died in May 2022, had told The New York Times that his encounters with CEFC were related to research on American dependence on foreign oil, saying: \u201cI have never had any organic or contractual relationship with CEFC.\u201d
\nAfter 2015, Luft would accompany Ho to Tel Aviv\u2019s annual Fuel Choices Smart Mobility Summit, a confab aimed at Israeli and international startups, financiers and policymakers in the field of alternative fuels and smart transportation.
\n\u201cCEFC executives visited Israel on multiple occasions, and it connects to a wider area of influence where Chinese authorities are trying to influence public opinion,\u201d Dayan says. \u201cThe fact they managed to have such a deep and well-rooted connection with a prominent Israeli like Gal Luft says a lot.\u201d
\nCEFC\u2019s foothold in Israel not only began to deepen, but seemingly managed to influence Israel\u2019s foreign relations as well. In 2015, CEFC representatives met with Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili alongside Israeli tycoon Mikhael Mirilashvili, to discuss investments in the former Soviet republic\u2019s energy sector.
\nMirilashvili, a 57-year-old Russian-Israeli billionaire and philanthropist, is one of many extremely wealthy Jews with substantial business dealings in Russia and other countries who choose to make their home base in Israel.
\nHe is a known associate of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, though gained notoriety after being embroiled in a corruption investigation against then-Interior Minister Arye Dery.
\nLuft\u2019s associates say they began to fall out of touch with him around the time he began steadily
\nincreasing public appearances in Israel at conferences organized by the Israeli government, alongside both Woolsey and CEFC officials. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, this was the time when Luft began trading arms and Iranian oil.
\nLuft, meanwhile, used his profile to write a Haaretz op-ed in June 2015 urging Israel and Cyprus to strengthen ties as part of China\u2019s Maritime Silk Road Initiative, which \u201cif implemented,\u201d he claimed, \u201cwould be the biggest infrastructure development project in history.\u201d
\nHe began steadily increasing public appearances in Israel at conferences organized by the Israeli government, alongside both Woolsey and CEFC officials.
\nLuft\u2019s associates, meanwhile, say they began to fall out of touch with him around that period, which coincided with the 2016 U.S. presidential election. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, this was the time when Luft began trading arms and Iranian oil.
\nAccording to the indictment against him, he and an unidentified co-conspirator engaged Woolsey, who was then advising Donald Trump, over \u201cinformation that was favorable to China.\u201d This was then circulated to thought influencers before appearing in a Woolsey-authored piece in the South China Morning Post soon after Trump\u2019s election victory over Hillary Clinton.<\/p>\n

\nLuft also allegedly \u201cdiscussed possible roles\u201d for his unidentified co-conspirator inside the Trump administration, additionally discussing the person taking a \u201c\u2019silent trip\u2019\u201d to China.
\nEmbroilment in the Luft scandal is yet another black mark on Woolsey\u2019s now disgraced record. Ironically, he was tapped as CIA director under Bill Clinton on the grounds that he would be tougher on China.
\nWoolsey gained most notoriety, however, after pitching a $10 million contract to two Turkish businessmen to help discredit dissident Fethullah G\u00fclen while advising on Trump\u2019s 2016 campaign.
\nHe eventually cooperated with the FBI and Robert Mueller\u2019s investigations into alleged meetings between Turkish officials and former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn \u2013 who owned a private intelligence company of which Woolsey was also a board member \u2013 on the possible extraction of the Pennsylvania-based anti-Erdogan cleric.
\nUnexpected donation
\nDespite Woolsey\u2019s fall from grace, Luft would continue to push Chinese investments to Israelis \u2013 including playing matchmaker for a 13-person delegation consisting of officials from CEFC and the
\nCyberspace Administration of China to discuss potential investments in China\u2019s Belt and Road Initiative. The project, described by U.S. officials as \u201cdebt-trap diplomacy,\u201d fit neatly into Luft\u2019s professional wheelhouse.
\nNearly simultaneously, in November 2017, Ho was arrested by U.S. officials in New York and charged with bribery and money laundering, allegedly offering bribes to officials in Chad and Uganda on behalf of CEFC, while attempting to craft CEFC as a middleman with Iran to avoid oil sanctions.
\nIn 2018, Ho\u2019s boss and Luft\u2019s associate, Ye Jianming, notably made an unexpected $1 million donation to Keren Hayesod-United Israel Appeal, despite no known ties to Israel or the Jewish people.
\nAfter his arrest, Ho called James Biden, who later said he believed the call had been meant for his brother Joe\u2019s son, Hunter.
\nLuft wrote the judge in Ho\u2019s case as a character witness asking for leniency, flagging their meeting with esteemed global leaders such as former-Israeli President Shimon Peres and Alan Greenspan (who also served on the United States Energy Security Council\u2019s advisory board).<\/p>\n

\nHo\u2019s boss and Luft\u2019s associate, Ye Jianming, notably made an unexpected $1 million donation to Keren Hayesod-United Israel Appeal around that time, despite no known ties to Israel or the Jewish people.
\nOn stage alongside Jianming at the May 2017 ceremony in Jerusalem was Mirilashvili and Keren Hayesod\u2019s then-chairman, Eliezer Zandberg \u2013 a Netanyahu confidant and one-time minister later convicted for his role in a corruption scandal relating to Israel\u2019s purchase of submarines and patrol boats from Germany.
\nJianming himself was soon placed under detention in China on bribery charges, and hasn\u2019t been seen or heard from since.
\nHo, meanwhile, was convicted in December 2018 and sentenced to three years in prison in March 2019 \u2013 the same time Luft claimed he first offered the FBI evidence proving supposed payments provided by Chinese officials to Hunter and James Biden.
\nLuft would appear on Fox News in November 2019 playing down Hunter Biden\u2019s engagement with CEFC. Republican lawmakers and right-wing media, however, have not only ignored this but also grouped President Biden into Luft\u2019s more recent allegations.
\nLuft\u2019s outreach to the FBI, and Ho and Jianming\u2019s legal battles, coincided with the Israeli American\u2019s rapidly depreciating financial status.
\nDonations to Luft\u2019s think tank dried up, falling from $824,000 in 2017 to just $4,000 in 2021. Luft himself took a $200,000 salary cut, to $75,000, supplementing his income by becoming involved in the resale of Turkish COVID-19 masks and protective gear to Israeli hospitals.
\nLuft and his business partners attempted to expand their business to Italy, signing contracts worth several hundred thousand euros. The venture collapsed, however, after Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan banned the export of emergency equipment, leaving Luft in dire financial straits \u2013 including legal battles with his partners and foreclosure on his home in Haifa.
\nA 2022 Washington Post investigation into Hunter Biden\u2019s ties with CEFC stated that his father did not benefit or know details about the transactions, which occurred after Joe Biden left the vice
\npresidency and before he announced his 2020 run.
\nLuft was eventually charged in November 2022 and arrested in Cyprus last February by authorities acting on an Interpol warrant. He claimed he was arrested to prevent him from testifying before the Republican-controlled House Oversight Committee, which has prioritized the alleged Chinese payments to the Bidens.<\/p>\n

\nHowever, Luft fled Cyprus while awaiting extradition and his whereabouts remain unknown. Republicans such as House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer took this opportunity to paint Luft as a \u201cmissing\u201d informant, again attacking Joe Biden over Luft\u2019s alleged criminality.
\nDespite speculation that he may have fled to Israel, officials at the Israeli Embassy in Washington say they have not received any requests for extradition.
\nSuch requests, if they were to be made, would be delivered to the Foreign Ministry before the justice minister would issue a ruling on whether to respect the request.
\nLuft had not spent much time in Israel in recent years, though, and in fact spent the majority of his
\ntime in Turkey. His public and academic profile adopted a decidedly pro-Turkish turn, stating that Joe Biden\u2019s decision to recognize the Armenian Genocide pushed Turkey toward China, while also lauding Erdogan\u2019s Nobel Peace Prize nomination.Luft spent the majority of his time in<\/p>\n

\nLuft’s attorney, Mordechai Tzivin
\nHaaretz has also learned that Luft’s attorney, Mordechai Tzivin, has made six visits to Turkey
\nduring the past two months. Tzivin refused to address the question of whether he met Luft during
\nhis trips.
\nThe Department of Justice eventually unsealed its indictment against Luft last week, accusing him of subverting foreign agent registration laws \u201cto seek to promote Chinese policies by acting through a former high-ranking U.S. Government official.\u201d He also acted as \u201ca broker in deals for dangerous weapons and Iranian oil; and he told multiple lies about his crimes to law enforcement,\u201d it stated.
\nU.S. authorities also accused Luft of trying to sell weapons to the United Arab Emirates, Libya and Kenya in his role as a mediator for Chinese companies.
\nLuft also discussed brokering a deal for weapons to Qatar and said that Israel was \u201cnot a good fit\u201d as the middleman for the deal because it had the \u201c[s]ame problem the [Qataris] have [with] uncle [referring to the United States]. Need a third party … I will activate,\u201d according to the indictment.
\nDespite the charges, Republicans such as Rep. Nancy Mace again accused Biden officials of \u201ctrying to silence our witnesses.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nDemocratic lawmakers, in turn, have used the charges against Luft as evidence of a pathological Republican obsession with attacking Biden. \u201cThe main committee is working with an indicted Chinese agent, who does business with the Iranian regime and is an illegal arms dealer to Libya \u2013 all of this to own Hunter Biden,\u201d said Rep. Jared Moskowitz.
\nMoskowitz\u2019s Democratic colleagues on the committee, Reps. Jamie Raskin and Dan Goldman, called Luft \u201can apparent con man who, while a fugitive from justice, attempted to fortify his defense by laundering unfounded and potentially false allegations through Congress.\u201d
\n‘We have to wonder’
\nLuft\u2019s attorney, Mordechai Tzivin, said in response to this article: \u201cMy client was persecuted by the enforcement authorities in the United States, who are afraid of the information he has, which is likely to undermine President Biden\u2019s political status. He has proof of the fact \u2013 and it\u2019s enough if we mention an email in which Hunter writes to the Chinese oil company that he is sitting and waiting together with his father for a phone call. And surprise surprise, a few days after the email, $5.1 million was transferred to a bank account connected to the Biden family. My client decided not to
\ncome to the United States, because he believes that he won\u2019t receive a fair trial there.
\n\u201cMy client has never been investigated by the authorities in any country. His meeting with the U.S.
\nauthorities was at his initiative, in order to reveal to them a major corruption affair prior to the
\nelections, and to warn the U.S. administration about the leaking of very problematic information.
\n\u201cMy client was not involved in the CEFC donation to Keren Hayesod-United Israel Appeal. My client has been living permanently in Israel since 2008. He traveled to Cyprus on February 9 and was arrested in Larnaca on his way back to Israel on February 16. Any implication that he was in
\nsome kind of trouble in Israel is entirely false.
\n\u201cRegarding the charges on the subject of weapons and oil, the indictment doesn\u2019t claim that there were actual transactions for which payments were made. Had there been anything, it would have appeared in the indictment, and there were also charges of money laundering. The emails in the indictment were taken out of context in order to construct a fictitious narrative. Other emails that
\nrefute the claims were deliberately omitted.
\n\u201cWe have to wonder why Luft was arrested in Cyprus when Israel has an extradition agreement with the United States, and when he spends 95 percent of his time in Israel. Clearly the Americans didn\u2019t
\nwant to discuss that in an Israeli court,\u201d Tzivin concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
