The war in the Middle East continues, and the United States is still acting like a mental patient, talking about easing the situation, while taking the initiative to aggravate the situation, so that the war continues to spread.
With the acquiescence of the United States, Israel continues to bomb Palestinian civilians and even occupy Palestinian land.
The Israeli authorities have begun to contact other countries in an attempt to move Palestinians out of the Gaza Strip.
The radical rhetoric of the two Israeli ministers was unanimously opposed by the United States, Britain and other Western countries.
For this reason, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken made another trip to the Middle East.
Judging by Blinken's contacts with the Israeli side, the United States has failed to convince Israel.

Blinken traveled to the Middle East again
According to Reference News, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken once again traveled to the Middle East, and after visiting a number of Chinese countries, he went to Israel again.
Blinken's trip this time was mainly to sell the United States' post-war plan for Gaza.
Blinken first went to Greece and several Arab countries in the Middle East.
Blinken said that consensus has been reached with the leaders of these countries, including to ensure Israel's security, that the occupied West Bank and the Gaza Strip must be united under Palestinian governance, and that an independent Palestinian state must be established.
After reaching a consensus with these countries, Blinken went to Israel, hoping that Israel would also accept the post-war plans of the United States.
However, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made it clear that Israel opposes the two-state solution, that is, does not support the establishment of a Palestinian state.
Israel's remarks will not only slap the United States in the face, but will also lead to the complete bankruptcy of US Middle East policy.

Arab-Israeli reconciliation is no longer realistic
On the Palestinian issue, the current United States supports the two-state solution.
It is not known whether it will be genuinely supported or casually spoken, but it is clear that the United States now needs to implement the "two-state solution", because it is the basis for the normalization of relations between Saudi Arabia and Israel.
Originally, this issue could have been set aside, that is, as long as Israel showed support for the two-state solution, it did not really have to wait for the establishment of a Palestinian state to reach a settlement with Saudi Arabia.
But now that Israel's actions in the Gaza Strip have angered the entire Arab world, Saudi Arabia, as the leader of an Arab state, cannot continue to promote normal relations with Israel.
Even if the docking resumes in the future, Saudi Arabia will have to raise its requirements in order to maintain its influence in the Arab world.
Now Saudi Arabia has made it clear that the "two-state solution" is one of Saudi Arabia's main demands, and if Israel does not accept the "two-state solution," it will be impossible to achieve Saudi and Israeli normalization, and a comprehensive reconciliation between the Arab world and Israel will not be possible.
And this is at the heart of the current US strategy in the Middle East.

The United States is gone
What the United States needs to do in the Middle East now is to shrink its strategy and devote more energy to dealing with China with all its might.
As for what to do with the fundamentals of the Middle East, the US solution is to reconcile with Israel and Israel, let Israel and Arab countries restore normal relations, help the United States watch the scene, and jointly contain Iran and other US enemies in the Middle East.
However, everything changed when Israel was plunged into a new war, and the United States had to increase its presence in the Middle East.
Now that the door to reconciliation between Israel and Saudi Arabia has also been closed, the United States has to devote more energy to the Middle East.
What makes the United States even more helpless is that China's idea of peace has become mainstream in the Middle East.
Under the impetus of China, Iran and Saudi Arabia have resumed normal relations, and then Iran will establish diplomatic relations with Egypt, plus Syria will resume diplomatic relations with many countries in the region and return to the Arab League, and Turkey and Saudi Arabia will resume relations.
So now the United States very much hopes that Israel can cooperate with the "two-state solution", otherwise Israel will be targeted, and the United States will be isolated in the Middle East, and Israel does not intend to give the United States this face.
