In the new wave of Palestinian-Israeli war, the United States' stance on Israel has shown its "unconditional support for Israel," while some other allies, after seeing the obvious statement of the United States, have also expressed their stance one after another, unanimously condemning Hamas and strongly supporting Israel. But now, the situation has undergone some changes, especially after Israel temporarily stopped the truce and resumed its attacks on Gaza, the affairs of civilians are still continuing, which makes it difficult for European and American countries that advocate "human rights" to accept such a thing. Until then, it was only Europe that blamed Israel, but more recently, the United States has also expressed its displeasure and has become more indifferent.
U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin recently uttered what is probably his "toughest" phrase so far: "Israel must defend the people of Gaza." Austin said Gaza's residents face the danger of activism, and "to push them into a dangerous place is to lose tactically, not win." ”
U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris agreed that while the U.S. has provided support for Israel's "legitimate military purposes" in Gaza, the suffering of large numbers of people is "devastating" and that "so many innocent people have been killed." ”
Austin and Harris made the comments after U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken made three visits from the postwar Middle East. In his meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Blinken spoke of two hopes: first, that the temporary truce be extended as much as possibleThe second is to reduce the number of civilian objects attacked in war.
Earlier, Biden warned Israel: On the one hand, the United States must follow Israel's operational norms while defending its own interestsSecond, Israel wants to attack Hamas in a shorter period of time.
Netanyahu not only directly "poured cold water" on Blinken, but also said that Israel would not stop attacking Gaza unless its "goal" was achieved. Under these circumstances, the United States finally could not hold back, and its attitude toward Israel became more resolute. So, what reason does the United States have to recognize that it is pursuing a "tightening" policy toward Israel?
First of all, the United States is the biggest supporter of the "Israeli action" against Hamas, and it has not only politically "intercepted" most of the Security Council proposals related to Palestinian-Israeli security issuesAnd in terms of the military, two aircraft carriers were sent to the Middle East.
However, the Israeli side's "indiscriminate incessant killing" of innocent people has not only been strongly criticized by the international community, but even the United Nations has declared that Israel is suspected of "being suspected of committing war crimes" and has begun to collect evidence. If the situation continues to develop, the United States will be the "backpipe" of Israel's brutality.
Secondly, statistics show that 184 people were killed in Gaza on the first day after the Israeli attack. Before the temporary truce, there were even more than 15,000 people in Gaza**, 70% of whom were women and children. Such a heinous act cannot be tolerated even by the allies of the United States. Ireland and Spain, for example, are not only quarreling with Israel, but they have also withdrawn Israel's ambassador to Iraq, and relations between the two countries are in danger of being severed.
Erdogan Erdogan makes it clear that Israel does not show itself as a real **, but more like "some organization". Turkey has called Israel's actions in Gaza a "genocide". French ** Macron has said, 'Completely eradicate Hamas', what is going on?This is also okay?If that were the case, it would probably be a decade to fight. ”
He also said that Israel has the power to defend itself, but that power does not give you the power to strike at the population. Guterres also mourns that Gaza has become a cemetery for children. The cruel facts show that the United States is helping **, and the United States looks at such figures, listens to the condemnation in society, and is also afraid.
This is also the biggest concern of the United States, because if Israel does something out of the ordinary, it is very likely to cause a regional war.
Now, Turkey, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, all have actual actions, Turkey and Iran are united, Iran and Saudi Arabia have strengthened military contacts, Egypt is on the border with Israel, the army is also deploying troops, and the four major powers in the Middle East, once they unite and launch a counterattack against Israel, especially when the Israeli army indiscriminately ** civilians, it will really happen.
If a regional conflict breaks out, it will be a dilemma for the United States. Without its own participation, Israel would have "disappeared" from the world under the combined attack of the countries of the Middle East;Moreover, the United States has only recently withdrawn from the Middle East in recent years, so it is not the main strategy of the United States. Before the United States and the Middle East "** for more than 20 years, countless casualties, spent a lot of money, but the final result was not ideal. The United States will certainly not make the same mistake again, so they need to put pressure on Israel, otherwise, Israel will be in the middle of a war.
