Recently, the world's attention to the United States has been focused on the United States for a chance to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In February, when Israel attacked the Jordan River settlements and expelled the Palestinian population, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken simply demanded that Israel stop building Jewish settlements, expel Palestinians and demolish Palestinian homes in the West Bank. Such a "shouting" move shows that the United States is still very moderate on the Israel issue. It can be said that the United States has an unprecedented level of tolerance for Israel, and it has also paved the way for subsequent Israeli attacks on Gaza.
Subsequent developments have shown that the only "effort" that the United States has so far expressed its willingness to make with regard to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been to unite with other countries to try to provide an evacuation route for civilians in the Gaza Strip. Although the United States later demanded a temporary ceasefire due to pressure from all sides, it still firmly supported Israel's exercise of its "right of self-defense." It can be seen that the United States is very conniving at Israel's actions and even provides it with ample excuses. However, the growing global condemnation of Israel's brutal methods in Gaza cannot be ignored.
Against this backdrop, Biden said in a speech on the 24th that Hamas's attack on a village in southern Israel on October 7 was due to the progress made in the peace agreement negotiations brokered by the United States between Israel and Saudi Arabia. Biden said that it was precisely because the United States brokered the reconciliation between Saudi Arabia and Israel that triggered the attacks of other forces in the Middle East on Israel, and this matter is mainly related to him personally. Not only that, but Biden excitedly attributed the temporary truce in the Gaza Strip to "extensive U.S. diplomacy," emphasizing that his efforts played a decisive role in it.
Some analysts believe that the United States is always Xi of "standing on the platform" for Israel. Whether it is the forcible invasion of territory by the Israeli military police and the "pioneer group", the demolition of Palestinian houses, or the "shielding" of Netanyahu, the United States has always acquiesced and unopposed it, and even now, the United States still refuses to impose sanctions on Israel. So the question is, does what Biden said have anything to do with Israel's Saudi peace talks?Sources said that more than three months had been in the planning of Hamas's attack, and that the United States and Israel had not yet made a breakthrough in negotiations, so there was no evidence that Israel's actions were triggered by negotiations between Saudi Arabia and Israel.
In addition, Biden also announced in his speech this month that the United States will provide more military assistance to Israel, including replenishing ammunition for Israel's "Iron Dome" defense system. However, nothing has been said about Ukraine. In this regard, there are comments that even if other countries impose economic sanctions and embargoes on Israel, it can make Israel "more disciplined", which is an indisputable fact. However, other countries' warnings to Israel are usually only lip service, because they know very well that "offending Israel and the United States" is not a solution to the problem, but a strategy to protect their own interests wisely.
Looking back at the entire course of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, we can see that the role of the United States in it is very important and guided. Although the United States claims to remain neutral, its support and connivance for Israel is clear. Whether it is Israel's eviction of Palestinian people and the demolition of houses, or Israel's attack on Gaza, the United States often only makes euphemistic appeals and urges, but does not really take action to stop Israel's atrocities.
This reflects the interests and strategic positioning of the United States in the Middle East. As Israel's most important ally and supporter, the United States wants to protect its interests and influence in the Middle East by supporting Israel. Although the United States has been trying to play a mediating role between Israel and Palestine, its actual actions have often been biased in favor of Israel, which is related to its status as an ally and stakeholder of Israel.
However, in the face of the escalating Palestinian-Israeli conflict and the growing global condemnation of Israel, the United States has also had to make some responses and adjustments. The recent United States calls for a temporary ceasefire and provides evacuation routes for civilians in Gaza, while still biased in favor of Israel, also show some room for response and manoeuvre. This can perhaps be seen as the influence of the international community on the United States in response to Israel's continued pressure and appeals.
In general, the settlement of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict involves many complex historical, cultural and interest issues, which require the joint efforts and wisdom of all parties. As a global power, the United States plays an important role in it, and its attitude and actions will have a direct impact on the development of the situation and the implementation of solutions. Therefore, I hope that the United States will be more objective and fair in dealing with the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, truly uphold justice, and find a solution that meets the interests of all parties and has long-term stability.
