Recently, the Israeli military launched a series of airstrikes on the Gaza Strip, and the news instantly became the focus of global attention. According to the Israeli military, they acted because the previous humanitarian ceasefire had expired, and Hamas had violated the ceasefire agreement by attacking Israel first. However, this claim has not been confirmed. This decision has sparked dissatisfaction and anxiety in many countries. The United States, Qatar and Egypt have played an important role in the matter, urging Israel to remain calm and push for an extension of the ceasefire.
It is even more rare for the United States to make tough statements about Israel's actions. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken engaged in a heated debate with Israel at a recent wartime cabinet meeting. Blinken noted that Israeli forces cannot launch operations in southern Gaza, where there are two million Palestinians, while stressing that there must be no attacks on UN facilities and that there must be enough security zones for civilians. In contrast, Israeli Defense Minister Gallant said that all Israelis support the destruction of Hamas, even if it takes months. But Blinken countered that Israel doesn't have that much time.
This war of words reflects the international community's concern and dissatisfaction with the situation in Gaza. The future of Gaza remains uncertain, and there are fears that such tensions could lead to a larger conflict and humanitarian crisis. Now, the people of this region need an extension of the ceasefire so that they can live in peace and tranquility. However, the reality is grim, and everyone knows that it will take difficult efforts to truly achieve peace.
The inhabitants of Gaza are perennially in danger, unable to control their own destiny and left it to the political and armed forces to decide. The future of the region remains uncertain, and tensions between Israel and Hamas remain a difficult issue to resolve. Of course, there is also work to be done on the ground and by the international community, and the more efforts are made to bring peace to this area, the more likely we are to see a day of peace and tranquility in Gaza.
Recently, civilians in the Gaza conflict have attracted a lot of attention from the international community, and the role of the United States as Israel's largest military ally in this conflict has attracted much attention. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the U.S. can understand Israel's assertion that it does not want Palestinians to have autonomy over Gaza, but that Israel should also present its plans to other countries. However, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu strongly disagreed, arguing that the Palestinian Authority could not rule Gaza. The meeting was called "the strongest rhetoric ever made by the United States" by the BBC.
The harsh rhetoric of the United States against Israel was triggered by the large number of civilians** caused by Israel's devastating airstrikes and ground operations in Gaza. The United States does not believe that Israel has enough time and ability to destroy Hamas, and there are huge differences between Israel and the United States over the final solution to the Gaza conflict. Although Blinken did not explicitly tell Israel where the "red line" for American patience with this matter is, the harsh rhetoric of the United States is enough to prove the huge differences between Israel and the United States. This could affect the process of peace negotiations in Gaza.
On the other hand, however, it is also possible that the United States' dissatisfaction would lead the United States to support the Security Council's plan of substantive intervention in Israel. There is still a possibility of a peaceful resolution to the conflict in Gaza, but only if the United States is determined enough to put pressure on Israel to accept a peaceful solution. Otherwise, the conflict could continue to escalate, causing even more damage to peace in Gaza.
