U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken is visiting the Middle East, which is Blinken's seventh visit to the Middle East since the outbreak of a new round of conflict between Palestine and Israel. However, judging from Blinken's remarks, it is "putting the cart before the horse" in promoting a ceasefire in Gaza, because Blinken publicly accuses Hamas of being the biggest obstacle to a ceasefire in Gaza, thus exposing the position of the United States. Rather than maintaining a neutral stance during the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the United States has stood firmly on Israel's side, recently approving $26 billion in military aid to Israel in support of so-called "self-defense."
Regarding the Israeli massacre in the Gaza Strip, the Biden administration of the United States also believes that Israel is exercising its right to self-defense, and the American media will not report on the situation of more than 34,000 people killed by Israel in the Gaza Strip, but will play up the threat of Palestinian Hamas forces, so as to support Israel's killing operations in the Gaza Strip. The United States is promoting a ceasefire in Gaza on the basis of Hamas's concessions, and to that end the United States is willing to put pressure on Hamas by following Israel's arrangement. In fact, Blinken's visit to the Middle East is also to relieve Israel's difficulties, and now the United States is no longer pretending, because it has moved Iran as a live target, and wants to unite allies to deal with Iran, so as to divert contradictions.
Blinken not only participated in the special meeting of the World Economic Forum, but also participated in the ministerial meeting of the Gulf Cooperation Council, during which Blinken pointed the finger at Iran, claiming that Iran has an increasingly urgent threat. Blinken pledged to strengthen military cooperation through defense-related discussions with Middle Eastern countries in the future. Iran had previously used drones and missiles to attack military targets in Israel in retaliation for Israel's attack on the Iranian embassy in Syria.
In fact, Iran did not bomb targets in Israel on a large scale, while the United States and Israel played up Iran's retaliatory actions and boasted about Israel and the United States' air defense interception capabilities. Judging from the actions of US Secretary of State Blinken, it is actively diverting contradictions, and the United States wants to integrate Middle Eastern countries to jointly deal with Iran by exaggerating the so-called Iranian military threat, in fact, Israel and the United States maintain the same position, and they are also actively encircling and containing Iran. Now, under the pretext of Iran's attack on Israel's target, the United States wants other countries to take sides, so that it can also take the same stance with Israel, and finally achieve "reconciliation" with Israel.
At a time when Israel is being criticized by the Middle East international community for its massacre of Palestinians in Gaza, the United States is stirring up contradictions between Middle Eastern countries and Iran. In fact, the United States is also trying to further isolate Iran through the cooperation of Middle Eastern countries, and at the same time isolate Yemen's Houthi allies, which are Iran's allies, and continue to openly exaggerate Iran's military threat. In fact, Israel is the source of chaos in the Middle East, and Israel has long been aggressive against neighboring countries, including Syria and Lebanon, but the United States has not said anything about this, highlighting the double standard of the United States.
