23 Feb -- According to a comprehensive report, the United States recently once again vetoed the UN Security Council's draft resolution on the Gaza conflict and rejected the international community's demand for an immediate ceasefire, which has aroused many criticisms from the outside world. Foreign media believe that the "inaction" of the United States on the Gaza issue runs counter to the world's efforts to promote a peaceful settlement of the Gaza conflict, and forces itself into a dangerous situation of being isolated by the world. At the same time, it has also made the outside world question whether the United States, as a superpower, has fulfilled its responsibilities.

The American "magic wand" is out of order?
The U.S. veto over the ceasefire in Gaza has been seen as ignoring the worsening humanitarian tragedy in the region. The UAE's newspaper The National bluntly commented that Washington's refusal to call for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza "is eroding the credibility of the United States on the global stage."
The Nation also noted that the United States' refusal to pressure Israel to stop the fighting in Gaza feels increasingly like "abdicating responsibility." The United States is clearly still a formidable force in our time, but its failure to call for a ceasefire is "appalling."
In fact, the United States has a "stubborn position" on Gaza, and although Biden said Israel's actions in Gaza were "excessive," his "unwavering" support for Israel has never changed.
The South China Morning Post also believes that today, the United States is still an "indispensable" supporter of Israel's military operation in Gaza, but it has chosen to "turn a blind eye" to the huge humanitarian catastrophe.
According to the newspaper's analysis, the increasingly obvious double standards of the United States are undermining its credibility and influence.
According to Time magazine, U.S. spokesman Miller said at a recent press conference: "I want to say that sometimes people pretend that the United States has a magic wand that can command any situation in the world and make any situation in the world develop exactly the way we want it to, but that's not the case." ”
As soon as the "Magic Wand" remarks came out, they were immediately refuted by reporters. A journalist sent a soul torture question to the United States: If billions of dollars in military aid are not a "magic wand", then what is?

Everything is the fault of the United States".
Falling into a dangerous situation of isolation.
Everything that happens there is the fault of the United States. Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev commented on the current aggravation of the situation in the Middle East.
Russia's Sputnik news agency quoted Medvedev as saying that control of crisis mediation in the region is largely in the hands of the United States. "How much autonomy can Israel** have in decision-making? They are heavily dependent on US financial and military assistance and, of course, cannot be autonomous. ”
Recently, the United States has been receiving increasing criticism at home and abroad for its support for Israel. The New York Times published an article saying that the strong reaction of the international community highlights the isolation of the United States in strongly supporting Israel.
The Washington Post reported that at the two-day G20 foreign ministers' meeting held in Brazil on the 21st, the United States' stance against an immediate ceasefire in Gaza was repeatedly criticized, which is another strong proof of the isolation of the United States on this issue.
At the beginning of the meeting, Brazil's Prime Minister Vieira condemned the United States for "this state of inaction that has led to the loss of innocent lives" and criticized the United States for providing political cover for Israel and billions of dollars worth of bombs and military equipment.
The Quincy Institute for Responsible Governance in the United States, citing an expert's analysis, said, "The United States refuses to use its influence to stop Israel's ** against the civilian population of Gaza, and the damage may be even worse than the Iraq war." At the same time, there have been warnings that this war will exacerbate terrorism. ”
Before the outbreak of the current round of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the director of the FBI told the US Congress that "many foreign terrorist organizations have called for attacks on Americans and Western countries" and that "the ongoing war in the Middle East has raised the threat of attacks on Americans in the United States to a high level."
