The sale agreement, which was subject to the approval of the Israel Land Authority, received approval from the Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Defence, the Israel Ministry of Finance and the Prime Minister of the State of Israel.
This agreement between the Government of the PRC in the State of Israel gave shape to a number of international aspects, namely, that in addition to the commercial aspect of this agreement, international diplomacy between two states is expressed in the involvement of multiple authorities, such as the Prime Minister of the State of Israel, the Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Defence.
Furthermore, this transaction serves to show how the Treaty of Vienna, which essentially regulates relations between states, is applicable in a commercial transaction such as this.
