The United States has found itself in an embarrassing position due to the intense friction between Hamas and Israel in Gaza. The United States, Israel's closest ally, has shown support to Israel at the same time as it faces international pressure to end its military activities in Gaza so as not to further increase the losses of the population. However, Israel not only refused to accept the advice of the United States, but also in some cases flagrantly violated the will of the United States by carrying out a massive aerial bombardment of Gaza, killing or maiming thousands of people, especially women and children.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has visited Israel three times in an attempt to persuade Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to agree to a U.S.-led solution of two independent states, Israel and Palestine, in the hope of achieving a lasting peace. But Netanyahu has ambitions of his own, which he hopes will use to root out Hamas and take control of Gaza, thus paving the way for Israel's development.
In his meeting with Netanyahu, Blinken harshly criticized Israel, saying that its attacks on Gaza were too brutal, resulted in mass deaths, and violated international human rights law. He called on Israel to carry out more precise and measured strikes south of Gaza and to minimize them. The United States has rarely made such a harsh rebuke of Israel, and at the same time, it shows that the United States is worried about Israel.
The United States is concerned that a continued Israeli attack on Gaza will lead to more humanitarian crises and escalate tensions in the Middle East into full-scale conflict. The United States is also afraid that because of its aid to Israel, it will be segregated internationally, or seen as Israel's **, with moral and legal obligations. Therefore, the United States has been putting pressure on Israel to reach an armistice agreement as soon as possible, restart negotiations, and find a new political path.
However, Israel has not taken the advice of the United States and is still implementing its programme. Thirty minutes before the end of the interim truce, Israel claimed to have carried out a major air strike on Gaza in response to a Hamas missile attack on Israel, although Hamas did not provide any explanation for this. This may simply be a deliberate justification created by Israel to put pressure on Hamas to prevent it from re-emergering.
The Kazakh-Israeli conflict has been further exacerbated by Israeli air strikes, while the Israeli army has launched a new offensive in southern Gaza, launching massive bombardments and air strikes on the entire Gaza region, and even Khan Younis, south of Gaza. Although the Israeli army has issued advance evacuation notices to move people to other areas south of Gaza, Gaza residents have nowhere to hide, and even United Nations agencies have been hit by airstrikes, resulting in the deaths of many innocent people.
It is said that in just 24 hours, the Israeli army's strike on Gaza has killed more than 700 people, making it the largest number of people in the world. It can be seen that Israel is still implementing its strategy in the Gaza Strip despite the admonition of the United States, bringing enormous destruction to the Gaza Strip and paying the lives of many innocent people for it.
Israel's aim is to eliminate Hamas, free all the hostages and ensure that Gaza does not become a danger factor for Israel. It now seems that all Israeli attacks are likely to be aimed at occupying Gaza and laying the foundation for Israel's colonies.
The United States is both angry and frustrated by Israel's actions, and the US defense secretary said that Israel is in danger of "strategic failure" because Israel is not doing its best to confront the Palestinian people in Hamas and Gaza. Since the people of Israel play a vital role in this battle, when it is forced in front of the enemy, it will pay a strategic defeat at the cost of tactical success.
It is in itself a very difficult thing for the United States to be able to say this. When the United States sent cluster missiles to Ukraine, it was strongly supported by its allies due to the fact that it could cause great harm to the population. However, the United States said that the priority for now is to defeat Russia, and said that the safety of the Ukrainian people is irrelevant.
Despite this, the United States did its best to persuade Israel, and then issued threats to Israel in the hope that Israel would end its attack on Gaza and re-establish peace. However, Israel does not accept this main reason, and the main reason is that the United States continues to support Israel. The United States, so to speak, bears the primary responsibility for Israel's hubris.
Not only does the United States strongly support Israel, but it also sends troops to the Middle East, thereby contributing to Israel's actions and preventing other countries from intervening. The current situation is that Iran, the leader of the Axis powers, did not take frontal action, but instead took the form of support and support, and launched an attack on Israel and the US ** team. Iran has not had direct contact with the U.S. team, but they do not want the war to continue to expand. At present, all countries and institutions, with the exception of Hamas, have a tacit agreement to avoid further escalation of contradictions.
Still, Israel is struggling to completely destroy Hamas, having killed 5,000 Hamas fighters in a previous military strike, compared to about 25,000, or about 20,000. At present, Israel is focusing on striking ground targets in Gaza, while most Hamas militants are hiding in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to counterattack.
France's Macron recently said that Israel needs to have a clearer definition of its own purpose and the expected final outcome. In other words, how can Israel feel that it has destroyed Hamas? If there is such an opportunity, how long will it take for Israel to achieve that goal? Macron reminded that Israel wants to completely destroy Hamas, and the battle will last for 10 years.
Netanyahu was taken aback by the expectation, as he had planned to spend a year on the fight, which turned out to cost $5 billion. If the war lasts for 10 years, it will cost 500 billion US dollars, or a year's gross domestic product of Israel. And this is only the fighting against Hamas, and does not include Israeli fighting in other areas, such as with Allah, Hussea militants, and armed groups in Syria and Iraq.
Macron's prophecy may include that Hamas militants will be divided after fighting on the front lines, while the Israeli army will continue to fight guerrilla warfare. The United States did not fight the two important battles in Iraq and Afghanistan for a long time, however, the militants in Iraq and Afghanistan made the United States uneasy and eventually had to withdraw its troops.
Israel already controls 9,800 square kilometres of Palestinian territory, and now it is trying to annex Gaza. Today, Netanyahu is in a state of insanity, achieving his goals at the expense of his national and world reputation. The United States is powerless against Israel, so who can stand up and stop Israel?
