A **, a sentence, can often reveal endless information and deep meaning. In the international political arena, especially when it comes to core institutions, the words and actions of those who behave are often in the public spotlight. Recently, a senior member of the U.S. Intelligence Agency (CIA) posted some high-profile information on social media, which attracted the attention of foreign media and domestic intelligence agencies.
Among these ** is a man waving a Palestinian flag, which has been repeatedly seen in reports exposing Israel's brutality. The other is this one with a sticker with a slogan in support of Palestine. These ** don't seem to be anything special, but they attract attention. Both the CIA and foreign media have paid close attention to these unusual moves. On the one hand, there is currently a heated discussion within Biden on whether to put pressure on Israel and urge it to cease fire as soon as possibleOn the other hand, the investigation found that the ** had overseen the production of Biden's daily intelligence briefings, which were compiled from highly classified intelligence. Therefore, whether it is from the point of view of the timing of the release or the identity of the publisher, these ** seem "extremely abnormal".
This has triggered a general interpretation from the outside world that the US position on the Palestinian-Israeli issue may have changed. Biden has been a staunch supporter of Israel since the outbreak of the new Palestinian-Israeli conflict, and has remained silent despite demonstrations in several cities in the United States demanding that Biden press Israel for a ceasefire. There are three reasons behind this position.
First of all, the religious factor. In the United States, both religion and Judaism have a wide range of faith groups, and many people see support for Israel as a manifestation of religious obligations, even associating the success of Israelis with the success of the United States. Biden is part of this group, and he often mentions the experience of meeting with Israel's Meir, saying that this meeting means a lot to Israel.
Secondly, geopolitical factors. The Middle East is rich in oil resources, which is one of the important reasons for the United States to maintain the hegemony of the dollar. Israel's position in the Middle East is crucial to U.S. strategic interests, not only playing an important role in protecting that interest, but also providing a lot of U.S. assistance in the fields of science and technology, military and intelligence.
Finally, the electoral factor. Biden is currently in a critical period of his campaign, and Jews not only hold almost all of America's economic lifeline, but also influence the votes of a large number of voters. Once Biden offends the Jews, his chances of re-election will be greatly reduced. Therefore, his support for Israel is "unhesitating" and makes Israel even more unscrupulous.
However, there are divisions within the United States over Biden's position. Earlier this month, nearly dozens of U.S. diplomats adopted the U.S. *** joint Biden position. At the same time, hundreds of *** have demanded that Biden take action, either publicly or privately, to push for a ceasefire and allow more aid into Gaza. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken also admitted that there are differences within the White House over Biden's position, and some senior ** even bluntly said that the United States "bears a lot of blame for Israel." This shows that the wind in the United States is gradually tilting in favor of Palestine.
The release of these "pro-Palestinian" by the CIA can be seen as a harbinger of a shift in the direction of the United States. This conclusion is supported by two events:
First, CIA Director Burns personally traveled to Qatar to meet with the head of the Mossad (Israeli intelligence agency) for further negotiations on the release of the hostages and the extension of the temporary ceasefire. This shows that the United States is trying to resolve the Palestinian-Israeli conflict through negotiations and seeking to achieve the goal of a ceasefire.
Second, the United States calls on Israel to pay more attention to the protection of civilians and avoid damage to infrastructure in its attack on Gaza. This is the most direct statement by the United States on protecting the Palestinian people since the outbreak of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, and it is also the most obvious policy shift of Biden.
With these moves, the United States apparently wants to prove to the international community that the United States is not entirely on the side of Israel, trying to change its comments on the United States. However, attempts to use these little tricks to salvage America's reputation are clearly not enough. At present, the most basic way out of the predicament is to urge Israel to cease fire as soon as possible and push the Palestinian-Israeli conflict back to the track of the "two-state solution". If a ceasefire is not clearly stated, the widening gap and the anger of the Arab people will eventually consume the United States.
In short, through some actions and words, it is possible to speculate about the relations between countries and the future development trends. In international politics, the details often contain the most important messages. Therefore, every move of the staff of the ** unit and the core organization deserves our close attention.
