In the current Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Israel's defense strategy has sparked widespread controversy. They are trying to put the Hamas label on all innocent civilians, whether they are doctors with a heart, teachers who teach, old people with gray hair, innocent children, or even babies in swaddling clothes. Such all-encompassing accusations are appalling at Israel's brutal acts. Israel has pointed the finger at the United Nations, accusing it of supporting Hamas, but it does not seem to have expected that its actions would attract the same accusations.
Recently, Israeli Minister Ben Gvir, right-wing leader, launched a fierce attack on Biden in the United States in an interview with Wall Street. He accused Biden of not fully supporting Israel and instead devoting his energy to providing humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip, which is undoubtedly a hint that Biden is supporting Hamas. He even further hinted that "if Trump had remained in power, the United States would have done something completely different." ”
Ben-Gvir's words are undoubtedly challenging Biden. As Israel's *** minister and representative of right-wing forces, he occupies a pivotal position in Netanyahu**. His remarks made Netanyahu** feel like a great enemy. In order to calm the turmoil, Netanyahu had to quickly intervene to "extinguish the fire". Although he had to express his gratitude to Biden and speak highly of Ben-Gvir's importance, in his words there was a deftly conveyed cautious criticism of the rhetoric of "some people." He accused the rhetoric, while winning applause at home, as a threat to vital interests.
So why is Ben-Gvir so hostile to Biden? Behind this, in fact, it reflects the contradictory attitude of the United States on the Palestinian-Israeli issue. On the one hand, they want to explicitly support Israel, but on the other hand, they do not want to get involved in it and set themselves on fire. Therefore, in practical actions, the United States fully supports Israel; But in words, they are often critical of Israel. This ambivalent attitude has left Israel dissatisfied and confused. Especially for those on the far right, any views that are not aligned with the United States are seen as support for Hamas. And the recent sanctions imposed by the United States on Jewish settlers have made Israel even more angry and disappointed.
Ben-Gvir's attack on Biden is just a microcosm of the rift in US-Israel relations. In this Palestinian-Israeli conflict, many rifts have been revealed between the seemingly close allies. The latest polls show that a growing number of Americans believe that Israel's actions are excessive. And after Ben-Gvir blamed Biden, that percentage will certainly continue to rise. The American people will think that Israel does not know how to be grateful;Israel, for its part, will criticize the hypocrisy of the United States. It is foreseeable that as the Palestinian-Israeli conflict continues, US-Israeli relations will deteriorate further. In this conflict, both sides need to calm down and re-examine their positions and attitudes. Only in this way can the best way to solve the problem be found.
