The United States finally issued a remonstrance to Israel, calling on it not to storm Gaza, what kind of drama are the two sides singing?This issue has attracted a lot of attention and speculation. Recently, tensions between the United States and Israel have escalated, causing concern in the international community. Although the United States has always expressed its opinion on taking more cautious actions against Israel, Israel does not seem to be bothered too much and still maintains a tough stance. What kind of story is hidden behind the differences and statements of the two sides?This article will delve into the positions of the two countries, the factual basis and the response of the international community, and uncover the mystery of what the two sides are singing.
The United States has been concerned about Israel's actions and has repeatedly called on it to act cautiously. Biden even expressed dissent to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, asking him to change his hardline stance and accept the "two-state solution." In addition, U.S. intelligence has released a rare document stating that Israel's massive use of non-precision-guided bombs has led to the deaths of innocent civilians. This series of remarks and actions shows that the United States has clearly expressed its opposition to Israel's combat tactics and war acts, and hopes that Israel will change its tactics.
However, Israel does not seem to have much influence on this. Israeli Defense Minister Gallant reportedly warned that defeating Hamas would take a long time, even a few months or longer. This means that Israel does not intend to end the fighting anytime soon, taking a negative attitude towards the instructions of the United States. It can be seen that the appeals and dissent of the United States have not had much impact on Israel.
Although the United States has ostensibly demonstrated its appeal and efforts to Israel to the world, it has not achieved substantial results in actual action. Some commentators say that the United States has only made some efforts on the surface, but in reality it has not put too much pressure on Israel.
First of all, the U.S. appeals and urges are only rhetorical and do not actually force Israel to change its position. Although it is urgent for the US to urge Israel to change its tactics, it has not made it clear that it will take the next step if Israel does not act. This has made Israel skeptical of the US appeal, believing that the US is just "putting on a show".
Second, the US has not initiated a sanctions regime against Israel on the Gaza issue, and it does not have much resonance and response to the proposals of Middle Eastern countries. Despite calls from the international community for sanctions against Israel, Western countries have chosen to turn a blind eye. This has made Israel more confident in the face of international pressure that it can continue to advance its goals.
In short, the United States' negative actions and lack of substantive action against Israel have made its appeals and dissent have a relatively small impact on Israel.
Some people believe that the United States and Israel are inherently on the same foot, and it is not surprising that they acquiesce in Israel's actions. They believe that Netanyahu will only change his tactics, and no matter what he says, the ultimate goal will still be to take the city. According to this view, the US appeal and dissent are merely a "gesture" to the international community and have no substantive significance.
However, there are also those who support and agree with the actions of the United States. They believe that the U.S. call and dissent at least respond to the international community's concerns about Israel's behavior, serving as a critique and warning. Although the actions of the United States did not produce substantial results, they at least showed the concern and attitude of an international power.
Judging from the current situation, the relationship between the United States and Israel is clearly strained, and the differences and disagreements between the two sides seem to be becoming more and more obvious. The impact of US calls and dissent on Israel is not obvious, and it is even considered "imaginary". In this case, I believe that the United States needs to act more forcefully to check and influence Israel's behavior.
First, the United States can seek more support from the international community and jointly call on Israel to stop its military operations and abide by international rules and humanitarian principles. It is only through the joint efforts of the international community that stronger warnings and checks can be issued against Israel.
Second, the United States could impose tougher economic sanctions to put pressure on Israel. Economic sanctions are an effective means of influencing the behavior of the state and can force Israel to reconsider its actions and tactics.
Finally, the United States can seek cooperation with other Middle Eastern countries to jointly promote the regional peace process. A more just and viable solution to the dispute could be provided for both Israel and Palestine through the establishment of a multilateral mechanism to resolve the dispute through negotiation.
To sum up, the United States has issued a remonstrance to Israel and called on it not to storm Gaza, what kind of drama are the two sides singing?In my view, although the appeals and dissent of the United States have had a certain degree of impact, they are insufficient in practice. In order to advance the peace process and reduce the risk of conflict, the United States needs to act more forcefully to check and influence Israel's behavior. Peace and stability in the Middle East can be achieved only through the joint efforts of the international community.
