The United States position on Israeli military operations in Gaza appears to have been adjusted by international pressure.
It is understood that US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, during his visit to Israel last week, conveyed to the Israeli leadership the intention of the White House to end the military operation within a month.
The conflict, which has been going on for more than two months, has killed more than 10,000 civilians, and has put the United States and Israel under the reproach of the international community.
The favoritism and support of the United States in this conflict have made Israel unscrupulous, and the number of civilians in Gaza has been rising, so the United States once again vetoed the bill on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict in the United Nations Security Council, which has aroused strong international repercussions.
In this case, the United States had to take into account the international image and the voices of the outside world, and consider the timing of the end of the military operation.
However, some people questioned the US side's statement, and Blinken also changed his position.
He told ** that Israel has every right to decide when to end the military operation.
At the same time, Blinken defended the Israeli army, saying that Israel also attaches great importance to protecting the safety of civilians in military operations, but the effect has not been as expected.
He claimed to have discussed with Israel the timing of the end of the military operation, but did not receive a specific reply.
Blinken also declared that this is a necessary step toward lasting peace and stability in Gaza, regardless of when the military operation ends.
In his opinion, this conflict is inevitable and there are some benefits, although it is not clear how these benefits are embodied in **.
However, this conflict not only caused a large number of civilian casualties, but also exacerbated the contradictions between Israel and Hamas, intensified the hostility between Jews and Arabs, and became a stumbling block to the settlement of the Palestinian-Israeli issue.
All in all, Blinken's statement is not only to ease the pressure on the United States, but also to make the Israeli army's military operation in Gaza look more legitimate and reasonable.
Although he claims that the United States cannot intervene in Israel's actions, in reality, the United States can influence and even determine Israeli decision-making.
In this military conflict, the interests of Israel and the United States are completely identical, so the United States is reluctant to interfere in Israel's actions.
The United States believes that Hamas is a terrorist organization that poses a huge threat to the security of the Middle East region, so the Israeli army's elimination of Hamas is to protect American citizens.
This is why the White House fully supports Israel.
In addition, Israel is one of the most important allies of the United States in the Middle East, and the United States must support Israel's actions, otherwise relations between the two countries will suffer.
While the United States has evacuated the citizens of Gaza, the conflict has not caused any loss to the United States.
In fact, the real position released by Biden has already been indicated: it can be seen from the emergency declaration issued by the United States to Congress asking for ammunition to Israel.
However, the international community remains hopeful that the conflict will end as soon as possible.
The United Nations has decided to convene an emergency special session on Palestinian-Israeli issues, hoping to achieve some substantive results, at least to bring about a ceasefire between the two sides and to avoid the spread of a humanitarian crisis.
The success or failure of this meeting, however, depends on whether the United States and its allies will obstruct it.
Therefore, in this conflict, the position of the United States is very important.
