Fact Check: Israeli Lawmakers' Taiwan Visit, Taiwan-Israel Agreements, and Iran Oil Claims

Claim 1 Israeli lawmakers Mickey Levy, Boaz Toporovsky, Ron Katz, and Yonatan Mishraki met with Taiwanese President Lai Ching‑te and senior officials to discuss expanding cooperation. Ynetnews confirms the delegation members and that they met President Lai and senior officials to discuss cooperation in technology and resilience. AllIsraelNews details the same delegation, their meeting with President Lai, and the focus on AI, trade, security and academic cooperation. Verdict: true Analysis: Two independent Israeli news outlets independently reported the delegation’s composition and the meeting with President Lai, giving high confidence that the claim accurately describes the visit.

Claim 2 Taiwan and Israel have signed more than 36 agreements and memorandums of understanding in areas such as academic exchange, agriculture, and health. Ynetnews states that “in recent years, Taiwanese cooperation with Israel has expanded across multiple fields… with more than 36 agreements and memorandums of understanding signed.” AllIsraelNews repeats the figure of “more than 36 agreements and MOUs” covering academic exchange, agriculture and health. Verdict: mostly_true Analysis: Both sources consistently cite the “more than 36” figure, though they do not provide an independently audited count. The repeated reporting supports the claim’s core accuracy, leading to a mostly_true assessment.

Claim 3 Nearly 90% of Iran's crude and condensate exports go to China, making China the largest importer of Iranian oil. The supplied material contains no information about Iran’s oil export destinations or the share going to China. No external data source such as the IEA or U.S. Energy Information Administration is referenced. Verdict: unverifiable Analysis: Without any evidence addressing Iran’s crude and condensate export patterns, the claim cannot be confirmed or refuted based on the available information, resulting in an unverifiable rating.
