In recent times, the United States has become more and more tough on Israel, and the United States has not only condemned Israel, but even planned to sanction the Israeli army. What is particularly unexpected is that former Speaker of the US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi even openly called for the resignation of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The United States is so dissatisfied with Netanyahu, but I am afraid that not only is the Netanyahu government's insistence on going its own way is not in line with the strategic interests of the United States, but also the internal pressure in the United States has also created a sense of crisis in the Biden administration.
As the humanitarian crisis in Gaza prolongs prolonged, a pro-Palestinian protest has swept through U.S. universities. According to comprehensive US media reports, protests have taken place at New York University, Columbia University and other American universities, and in order to support Palestine, students from these colleges and universities not only chanted a ceasefire in Gaza, but also demanded that their universities withdraw their funds from companies linked to Israel.
In recent weeks, the protests have not only not subsided, but have even intensified, according to the Washington Post, on April 24, protesting students at colleges and universities in the United States confronted US police. Protesters demonstrated again at New York University on Monday night, and police arrested more than 120 people that night, four of whom could face criminal charges.
Seeing the wave of protests spreading, Trump publicly came out to criticize Biden, calling the phenomenon a "disgrace" for the United States, and blaming Biden for this "disgrace". At a critical moment in the tense US election, Trump's criticism once again reminded Biden that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict may continue to adversely affect Biden's election results.
In fact, this is not the first time that the Biden administration's policy toward Israel has aroused dissatisfaction in the United States, and not long after the US presidential primary began, American voters protested to Biden in the form of blank votes, hoping that the Biden administration could adjust its policy toward Israel. However, the Biden administration pays lip service to Israel, but in fact it has been sending weapons to Israel.
Recently, the U.S. House of Representatives also passed a $95 billion foreign support bill, of which $26 billion will be used to aid Israel. The United States has taken concrete actions to support Israel, but it is afraid that it will further detonate the anger of the protesters in universities. The pro-Pakistan protests in American colleges and universities are getting louder and louder, which not only puts Biden under tremendous pressure, but also makes Netanyahu unable to ignore.
According to reference news reports, Netanyahu called the pro-Palestinian spread in American universities on the 24th terrible, and demanded that (the United States) must take more action to stop these phenomena.
It seems that Israel does not intend to stop, but to exert new pressure on the Biden administration at the same time that it is facing huge internal pressure.
Regardless of whether the Biden administration intends to change its policy toward Israel, Israel still does not change its true nature of "going its own way" and has now launched a new action.
According to Xinhua News Agency, Israeli officials confirmed on the 24th that the Israeli army's offensive on Rafah will begin soon, and the United States has been informed of the relevant action plan;
According to CCTV News, the Israeli military announced on the 24th that the Israeli army will send two additional brigades to Gaza to participate in ground operations in Gaza;
According to a report by China News Network, on the 24th, the Israeli army dispatched warplanes and launched a fierce air raid on many places in Gaza, killing more than 8 people and injuring dozens of others;
Israel's attitude is so resolute that it is difficult to expect Netanyahu to change his mind in the near future, after all, Netanyahu has been threatened by the Israeli far right to "step down if he does not fight Rafah", and if Israel ends the war without taking Rafah, Netanyahu's premiership will only be even more precarious.
Now that Israel has launched a fierce attack, the pro-Iranian forces are not going to be idle and have once again joined the melee. According to a report by Xinhua News Agency on the 25th, a spokesman for Yemen's Houthi rebels said in a statement on the 24th that the armed forces had launched attacks on US and Israeli ships, including a US destroyer sailing in the Gulf of Aden. There is no doubt that the Houthi activities are a sign of solidarity with Palestine, and if the war in Gaza does not end, Israel and the US military in the Middle East will inevitably be besieged.
At present, the situation in the Middle East is becoming more and more complicated, and it is difficult to guarantee that this round of Palestinian-Israeli conflict will not continue to spill over, and even trigger more unexpected political changes, whether it is Biden or Netanyahu, will face more and more severe tests. As far as the Palestinian people are concerned, the long-term war has left them in dire straits, and what they most hope for is an early end to this round of disasters.
