According to reports, Biden told reporters that the United States will continue to support Israel. While the United States did deliver on its promise to provide military aid to Israel immediately after the outbreak of the Israeli-Palestinian war, and even sent an aircraft carrier to the eastern Mediterranean, who can guarantee that they will always be so supportive of Israel?
But don't forget, the fire in Russia and Ukraine is still burning, and if Biden doesn't want to abandon his efforts to deal with Russia, he must continue to support Ukraine. What's more, the United States has always been a master of changing faces, and it may have fully supported Israel just now, but in the blink of an eye, it may have changed its position and no longer supported it.
The day after the United States sent the USS Eisenhower to the eastern Mediterranean, Biden issued a warning in an interview with reporters. He bluntly stated that it would be a grave mistake if Israel occupied Gaza again. Biden made it clear that the extremists in Hamas are not representative of the Palestinian people as a whole, so Israel's actions must be carefully considered.
This is Biden's most important public warning to date about Israel's occupation of Gaza, and while the United States has been supporting Israel, why did Biden suddenly issue a warning, saying it was a "big mistake" to do so? This must have been a surprise blow to Israel.
In addition, Biden also stressed that the United States will not send troops to intervene in this conflict, and if the United States sent the USS Eisenhower to the eastern Mediterranean to expand its military presence in the Middle East and provide support to Israel, then the position of criticism of the Israeli authorities is to tell them that the United States no longer fully supports them.
In just 24 hours, the position of the United States has changed dramatically. So, what is the reason for this? There may be three points to this. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has long been one of the cores of US policy in the Middle East.
First, in recent years, due to Israel's unwillingness to back down and the United States' continuous support in it, the Palestinian-Israeli peace process has encountered tremendous obstacles and made it difficult to make substantive progress. However, in the current situation, Biden hopes to change this situation and promote the Palestinian-Israeli peace process.
The second point is that since Biden took office, they have been working to improve relations with Arab countries, and in doing so, they are trying to achieve the strategic goals of the United States in the Middle East. From this perspective, Biden may try to limit Israel's actions in order to show the impartial position of the United States and improve relations with Arab countries. However, it cannot be ruled out that this practice of the United States is actually just a superficial show.
The third point is that Biden is trying to put pressure on Israel in the form of criticism and warnings in order to prepare for next year's elections. After all, Biden's approval ratings have been slipping right now, and there are even signs that his predecessor Trump could catch up and surpass his approval ratings.
Against this backdrop, Biden has had to look for ways to win more support within the party and at home, and at present, the United Nations is investigating the possible presence of Israel in the Gaza Strip"War crimes"。If the United States wants to get out unharmed, it can only try to avoid being accused and involved by restricting Israel"War crimes"legal disputes.
In short, in Biden's view, it is only possible to regain his approval rating by reining in Israel . Therefore, if these three things can be achieved just by criticizing and warning Israel, then in Biden's view, this must be a wise and correct choice, without losing or losing, and even benefiting.
But then again, although the United States is not very friendly to Israel now, it does not mean that it will be the same in the future. After all, Israel can be described as an important "tool" in the Middle East for the United States, so the United States will definitely not let it be defeated.
