The Israeli-Palestinian conflict seems to have reached a critical turning point. Under international pressure, the United States gradually began to disagree with Israel's position, and there were some signs of turmoil in Israel.
First, several members of the IDF spokesman's group, including the one led by Brigadier General Daniel Hagari, suddenly resigned en masse. Although the reason for the resignation is not yet clear, it is allegedly related to the war policy in the Gaza Strip. The resignation has garnered widespread attention, with some reports pointing out that it was partly due to differences of opinion within the team and personal dissatisfaction with Brigadier General Hagari.
In addition, U.S. Deputy Kamala Harris also issued a harsh criticism of Israel, accusing Israel of not doing enough to alleviate the "humanitarian catastrophe" in the Gaza Strip. She called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and urged Hamas to accept an agreement to release the hostages. These remarks show a strong dissatisfaction and despair within the United States over the current war situation, especially at a critical moment when Biden is seeking re-election.
Harris also asked Israel to do more to increase the flow of aid to Gaza and to protect the safety of humanitarian personnel and convoys. She pointed out that there is no excuse why aid has not been able to reach the affected people. In addition, the United States conducted the first airdrop aid operation to further help the people of Gaza.
However, the pressure on Harris has also come from this year's **. Biden is facing stiff competition from Trump, and Islamist support for Biden is declining. Therefore, Harris's ceasefire proposal this time is also to win the support of voters and boost Biden's image.
Overall, the current situation in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict remains tense, but with the increasing pressure from the international community and the involvement of the United States, it may provide some hope for the two sides to seek a ceasefire and solve the problem.
