When the night sky in southern Lebanon once again lit up, the flames of war mercilessly engulfed the tranquility of the villages, and it was not just a simple report of war, but a shocking humanitarian catastrophe. 
A few days ago,The Israeli army has carried out deadly strikes in several areas of southern Lebanon, using white phosphorus munitions containing highly incendiary properties。Foreign media reporters investigated at the scene and found that it was not only the buildings that were blown up, but also the people's tranquility and life. himProduction ** was identified from the three pieces of shrapnel left behind, and these white phosphorus bombs, produced in 1989 and 1992, were all from U.S. factories. The Israeli army's use of white phosphorus bombs caused the burning of many houses and the injury of many innocent civilians. The shelling in the dark of night left people in villages in southern Lebanon with no choice but to flee for their lives, houses were blown up, thick smoke obscured the sky, and white smoke and pungent smells suffocated everyone at the scene. White phosphorus has:"Demon Dust"The title. It can spontaneously combust when exposed to air, releasing high temperatures and large amounts of smoke, and is often used to create battlefield smoke screens or hit large areas of targets. When it comes into contact with the human body, it causes terrible burning and penetrating power, causing serious injuries that are difficult to heal for a long time。Although international law does not prohibit their use in its entirety, the framework of international humanitarian law has strict restrictions on the use of white phosphorus munitions, especially against civilians. 
The provisions of the Convention on Specific Norms** were supposed to be the line of defence for the protection of civilian lives on the battlefield. However, Israel's use of white phosphorus bombs as a signatory is a clear violation of the spirit of the Convention. In response, the Israeli side argued that the use of white phosphorus was not intended to harm civilians, but to create smoke. But the outside world questioned that the Israeli army launched an attack in the early hours of the morning, and the smoke creation did not work at allThe "rain of fire" created by the Israeli army has indeed caused serious injuries to civilians in southern Lebanon, and many houses have been engulfed in flames. Israel's use of US-made white phosphorus bombs has not only caused the international community to reflect on the use of the system, but also brought new uncertainties to regional stability. In the long run, if the Israeli army continues to use white phosphorus bombs, it is likely to lead to an escalation of conflicts, and civilians will be more frequent. The international community needs to work together to monitor and demand strict compliance with international humanitarian law by all parties involved in the conflict, and to ensure that innocent people have a glimmer of hope for survival in the midst of war. Behind this matter, in addition to Israel's dangerous actions, the supply of white phosphorus bombs by the United States to Israel is also a focus. It is reported thatAfter the outbreak of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the United States has reached a staggering 10,000 tons of Israel. Such large-scale military assistance includes a staggering array of high-end equipment: 100 BLU-109B ground-penetrating bombs, 4,000 MK-84 bombs, and 1,000 precision-guided GBU-39 bombs. 
If Israel did not have these "sharp blades" from the United States in their hands, would they have been able to launch such an offensive in the Gaza Strip with such impunity?The words of the retired Israeli major general make it clear that without the support of the United States, they simply would not be able to conduct any form of combat operation in Gaza. When the ** surging and Israel was exposed to the use of the internationally banned and highly controversial white phosphorus bomb, where was the United States on?If Israel really carries out indiscriminate and brutal attacks on innocent civilians, then will the United States, which provides the best of the world, become the target of the international public?In the face of questions and criticisms from the outside world, the United States chose to respond with extreme lightness, saying only that it was paying attention to the relevant events and trying to morally distance itself from direct ties with Israel. But doing so is just a drop in the bucket. From the first Middle East war to the present, the United States has never stopped supporting Israel. Behind Israel is the strong military power of the United States, which has enabled Israel to expand its influence in the Middle East. Now, we can't help but ask, under the current of the situation in the Middle East, the United States has given Israel not only ***, but also deeper political support and strategic complicity. Can Israel continue to rely on this force and tirelessly play the role of a strong man in the Middle East and on the global stage?
In the future, it is likely to see the United States find itself in a more complex predicament. In the end, it remains to be seen how the Israeli military's use of US-made white phosphorus bombs to attack civilians will affect the balance in the Middle East and even the global security landscape. Of course, don't look at the U.S. reaction lightly, because Israel's military action is too aggressive, the U.S. is now in a state of mind, so there has been a dramatic change in the attitude of the U.S. side. A few days ago, Biden suddenly issued an unusual warning signal, in which he expressed "the harshest criticism" of Israel's bombing campaignThis can't help but make people ponder: Why does the United States, as Israel's long-standing staunch ally, choose to stand up and speak out at this moment?
On the face of it, Biden's unusually tough statement is tantamount to a resounding slap in the face to Israel. In particular, when he stressed that Israel's "indiscriminate bombing" is causing it to lose global support, it has given the outside world a new reason to speculate about a rift in US-Israel relations. In the international arena, this kind of rhetoric has been described as "rare", despite the fact that it is not the first time that there has been friction between the leaders of the United States and Israel. But what is more worthy of our attention is that after Biden's statement, the White House seems to be cooling down this diplomatic storm. The White House tried to interpret Biden's statement as a concern for civilians, but such statements did not hide Biden's harsh criticism. It can be seen that under this iceberg, there are more complex currents surging, and it is clear that the discussion within the United States about the position against Israel is far from over. In fact, although Biden said this remark, it cannot be simply understood as a change in the attitude of the United States towards Israel. After all, the U.S.-Israel relationship is deep, and based on years of strategic cooperation and common interests, any statement needs to be analyzed layer by layer. Yes,Biden may be urging a ceasefire, but he may also be pushing deeper strategic goals. This includes realigning the U.S. strategic position in the Middle East or responding to voices of doubt inside and outside the U.S. about the Israeli-Palestinian issue. 
In this Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the losses suffered by all parties are no longer limited to the material level. The Western world, especially the United States, has begun to feel the blow on the soft power battlefield of international credibility. The image of the United States and its allies has been tarnished by hypocrisy and double standards, and with it comes increasing international pressure. Biden's criticism this time is not just from a moral point of view, but is likely to be more of a strategic adjustment. Trying to salvage the damage to the image of the United States in the Middle East and even internationally. However, it is still difficult to predict whether it will succeed. Whether Israel heeds the guidance of the United States and adopts a more moderate response to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, or whether it continues to stick to its original stance, will have a direct impact on the stability and future direction of the entire Middle East region.
