In the past two months, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict has not eased as expected, on the contrary, the situation of the war has gradually developed in a more dangerous direction. Instead of ceasing their military operations in Gaza, the Israeli authorities have expanded their attacks on civilians in the area.
The latest reports show that the Palestinian Gaza Strip has more than 190,000 people have been killed, and that number is rising. Worryingly, Israel's strikes appear inhumane, targeting hospitals and schools, and even preventing the international community from delivering much-needed humanitarian assistance to Gaza. This kind of behavior is actually a complete denial of human values.
The international community has condemned Israel's actions, which is vividly reflected in the United Nations General Assembly's adoption of several resolutions calling for a ceasefire between Palestine and Israel. As a staunch supporter of Israel, the United States adopted a draft resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire between the two sides at the most recent United Nations General Assembly, despite continuing to vote against it, by a vote of 153 to 10.
The behavior of the United States is really incomprehensible, and it is "contained" by IsraelOr did Biden ** adopt some kind of tactic to delay the battle?In the recent Security Council vote, the United States once again exercised its "veto", which led to the failure of the resolution to pass, leaving the people of Gaza in a difficult situation once again. Immediately afterward, the United States sent Blinken to criticize Israel in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner, and seemed to issue instructions to "end the fighting within a month."
Raising further suspicions, ahead of the recent vote, Biden had publicly called on Netanyahu to make "changes" and urged Israel to do more to protect civilians in Gaza. He acknowledged that the United States and Israel have always been at odds, and his rhetoric raised questions about whether Biden was changing his stance.
However, this is not the case, as his subsequent words reveal the truth thoroughly. Biden warned Israel to tread cautiously because the global ** could be reversed in an instant. The implication of this sentence is to let them take a more low-key action and avoid attracting greater ** attention. This is perhaps understandable, given that the United States is currently approaching 2024** and Biden's approval rating is already at an all-time low, which is also unprecedented in American history.
Biden is starting to feel the pressure, but domestic inflation has not eased, and improving the economic situation seems unrealistic in the short term. Therefore, he can only start with other issues, among which the statement on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is particularly crucial. At present, more than one-third of Democratic Party members have expressed dissatisfaction with this, and criticism of Biden is increasing. Under such circumstances, Biden's statement on the Palestinian-Israeli issue must be more prudent and cautious.
This explains why Biden voted against it on the one hand, and constantly warned Israel on the other. In fact, Biden appeared to be a little hesitant and afraid of a strong backlash, especially from within the United States and from Western allies. Now, even America's allies are beginning to condemn Israel's actions, arguing that they are too aggressive. Therefore, in the vote of the United Nations General Assembly, Germany, Britain, Italy, Ukraine and other countries chose to abstain.
Despite Biden's tough rhetoric against Israel, it was only a delaying tactic and the motive behind it was primarily for next year's elections. However, such behavior only increases the difficulty of one's own re-election. On the one hand, frequent votes against the outbreak, in the face of the outburst of **, will only exacerbate domestic discontent. On the other hand, Biden's "double standards" will also weaken his voice on the international stage. All this will be a huge obstacle on the road to Biden's re-election!
