The new round of Palestinian-Israeli conflict lasted for more than three months, and the Gaza Strip was in ruins under constant bombardment, but Israel did not fundamentally address the threat posed by Hamas. As the situation continues to escalate, the Israeli side has extended an olive branch to Hamas in an attempt to achieve a temporary ceasefire through negotiations. However, this move was rejected by Hamas, which imposed higher requirements for switching chips. At the same time, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faces a difficult choice between protecting the lives and property of civilians while safeguarding the interests and dignity of the country.
In this situation, the attitude of the United States has brought a new turn to the situation. Despite Israel's disregard for US demands, the Biden regime's pressure on Israel has shifted from the rhetorical phase to actual actions. A member of the U.S. Committee also said that Israel has the right to protect itself from Hamas, and at the same time must abide by international humanitarian law and protect civilian lives, and the United States will continue to support Israel's fight against Hamas. However, the actions of the United States are just another effort.
As a matter of fact, the fundamental cause of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is the contradiction between issues left over from history and practical interests. While there have been excesses and incidents of violence on both sides, the root of the problem lies in a complex historical, religious and cultural context. Therefore, relying solely on concessions or compromises on one side will not solve the problem.
In addition, the international community should strengthen cooperation and coordination. States should respect international law and humanitarian principles and refrain from unilateral actions and sanctions. It is only through dialogue and consultation that the best way to solve the problem can be found.
In short, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is a long-term and complex issue that requires all parties to exercise restraint and rationality and seek a peaceful solution. We should call on all parties to exercise restraint and refrain from acts that exacerbate tensions. Let us work together to contribute to peace and stability in the Middle East.
