Title: Netanyahu is in trouble, Biden has a headache How to clean up the mess?
Hello everyone, I am your military international relations blogger, and today I bring you an in-depth analysis of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and US-Israel relations. At the beginning of the story, let's assume a scenario: when the storm of international pressure hits, Netanyahu is in a difficult situation, and Biden is having a headache about how to clean up this "mess".
First, let's focus on the situation in Israel. With the escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, Israel has had to deal with a grim international situation. On 15 December, the incident of "manslaughter" became the trigger when the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) admitted to the "manslaughter" of three Israeli hostages in northern Gaza. The incident has sparked widespread concern, and Netanyahu is facing intense pressure from home and abroad. The situation developed rapidly, and Netanyahu had to publicly apologize and promise a thorough investigation into the incident.
However, it is striking that the IDF's attitude has shifted from "responsible" to "fully responsible", a subtle change that reveals Netanyahu's contradictions and dilemmas in handling the incident. Although they showed some sincerity, this did not de-escalate the situation, but instead triggered larger-scale demonstrations. Thousands of people gathered in the square of Tel Aviv, Israel, calling for immediate measures to free the hostages.
This time not only revealed Israel's inadequacy in handling Hamas attacks, the hostage issue, etc., but also led to a sharp drop in Netanyahu's approval ratings. At present, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict has not subsided, the hostage issue is becoming more and more serious, and Netanyahu's political pressure is rising. In order to de-escalate the situation, he again said at a press conference that he would do everything he could to ensure that all the hostages returned home safely, and personally displayed the "Take them home" sign to show determination.
At the same time, Qatar's prime minister and the head of Israel's intelligence agency, the Mossad, said they would push for a ceasefire process in Gaza and do more to free the hostages. As the hostage issue gradually comes into focus, Israel is feeling the pressure, and a new ceasefire process may become inevitable. But it also raises concerns about whether a ceasefire means that a more intense and brutal war is on the horizon
Next, let's turn to the situation in the United States. After the outbreak of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the United States has aroused dissatisfaction and dissatisfaction in the international community because of its support for Israel, opposition to the ceasefire in Gaza, and military aid to Israel. And this time, the ** wave has spread to Indonesia. According to CNN, thousands of Indonesians held a large-scale demonstration outside the U.S. Embassy, holding aloft their "bloody hands" dyed red, opposing U.S. intervention in the Palestinian-Israeli situation and calling for a ceasefire in Gaza to ease the humanitarian crisis.
This is not the first time that the U.S. embassy has been "surrounded" by ** people, and similar incidents are not uncommon around the world. From Syria to Iraq, US military bases have been attacked many times, and the Capitol building, the White House, and the Pentagon have also been surrounded by ** people. This shows that if the United States continues to intervene in the Palestinian-Israeli situation, not only will it trigger more**, but incidents similar to the siege of the embassy will also occur frequently, and Biden's approval rating may decline further. Considering that 2024 has already begun, if Biden loses popular support, his candidacy will be an even more difficult challenge.
In general, the current Palestinian-Israeli situation is full of uncertainties, and the opportunity for a ceasefire has not yet arrived. Israel's Netanyahu is facing a dilemma, and Biden of the United States is also struggling with how to deal with the situation. We will wait and see how this international storm will evolve. As China observers, we need to pay more attention to the potential impact of these events on the world landscape and the role that China plays in it. Let's work together for a more peaceful and stable world.
