Recently, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict has become the focus of the world's attention, and the attitudes of all parties have become more and more obvious. Is there a deeper entanglement of interests in Western countries that have begun to express strong dissatisfaction with Israel's actions and demand a ceasefire?The recent scandals involving the Israeli army have provoked a strong reaction from the international community. Even the United States has begun to warn Israel that it must change its tactics, while European countries have spoken out to warn Israel to reduce the number of civilians**. Is this series of actions really out of concern for the safety of civilians?
In fact, there may be a larger interest involved. In this conflict, European and American countries have begun to warn Israel in a real sense to restrain itself, and the core factor behind it is the damage to the interests of sea power. The Red Sea blockade has expanded the scope of the attack from Israeli ships to Western ships, including German and Swiss ships. In this case, the shift from sea to land transportation will have a major impact on the sea power of Western countries, and the United States, as an "orphan of the two oceans", will face the greatest pressure.
Especially in the context of China's promotion of the Belt and Road Initiative and the opening of the China-Europe railway, the development of land transportation technology is accelerating, which will have a great impact on the sea power interests of the United States. Therefore, the reason why the United States, Germany, and Britain hurriedly warned Israel may be out of consideration of their own interests. Although this impact may not be obvious in the short term, in the long run, it will lead to a strategic adjustment by the United States, and it will also be the biggest turning point for the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Does all this mean that the geopolitical map is realigning again?
Perhaps, we need more attention and thinking.
