If there is no further ceasefire, it will be troublesome, the humanitarian crisis in Gaza continues to worsen, Foreign Minister Wang Yi's words have just ended, and the United States has rarely aimed its guns at the Israeli army.
Recently, the United States made a rare sniper attack on the Israeli army, announcing that five Israeli forces had committed "serious human rights violations" before the current round of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, and Israel had not held them accountable. US State Department spokesman Patel said that four of the five Israeli forces have "effectively corrected" these behaviors, and the remaining one will be consulted by the United States with the Israeli government.
This is a rare case in which the United States has publicly prosecuted the crimes of the Israeli military, and from the perspective of time, the United States' statement echoes China's. Just before the United States publicly condemned the Israeli army, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi had just made a statement on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict in an interview with Qatar Peninsula News, and Foreign Minister Wang Yi said that this round of conflict has caused 100,000 casualties and displaced millions of people, and the international community must speed up its action. Speaking of which, Foreign Minister Wang Yi also put forward four "musts": first, we must promote a ceasefire and cease hostilities as soon as possible, second, we must ensure that humanitarian relief channels are unblocked, third, we must prevent the Palestinian-Israeli conflict from continuing to spill over, and fourth, we must correct the historical injustice suffered by the Palestinian people. As soon as Foreign Minister Wang Yi's words ended, the United States denounced the Israeli army, and it seemed that the United States was also on the side of the international community and hoped that Israel would stop there.
On this matter, on the surface, the United States seems to oppose the Israeli army's atrocities against the Palestinians, but in fact, in the current round of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, has the Israeli army committed fewer inhumane atrocities against the civilians in Gaza? Moreover, the US Government has not clearly stated what measures it will take against this Israeli army, let alone impose sanctions on this force, or restrict it from receiving military aid. You must know that after the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the United States and the West have found various excuses to sanction Russia, but now the Israeli army has caused such a serious humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip, but the US government is indifferent. Therefore, in the eyes of the outside world, the United States has no shortage of intentions to make concessions to Israel. After all, just a few days ago, the US House of Representatives passed a foreign aid bill, which includes $26 billion in aid to Israel.
In doing so, the United States wants to ensure that the US strategy in the Middle East and the hegemony of the dollar will not be affected, but the problem is that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is already facing being "forced into the palace" and may not be able to continue to maintain US hegemony in the Middle East. Netanyahu's tough stance on attacking Rafah has been met with opposition from a large number of Israelis, with about 100,000 protesters outside the Knesset building hoping for a quick ceasefire, the release of the detained Israelis, and Netanyahu's resignation. The Biden administration and the Netanyahu administration have only thought about fighting a war, but have never considered the feelings of the people, and the longer this war is fought, the more civilian casualties will be. As with the protests that are now breaking out in the United States and Israel, will Biden and Netanyahu be able to maintain their leadership at home once they lose the hearts and minds of the people? If this conflict is not properly resolved, I am afraid that Biden will not be able to be re-elected, and Netanyahu will face resignation.
Under the impetus of various countries, a long-term ceasefire in the Gaza Strip is inevitable, and the Palestinian-Israeli issue will inevitably be resolved through peaceful negotiations. If the United States really wants to cease fire with Israel, it should take concrete actions instead of superficial efforts. No matter how much the United States tries to defend Israel, its influence in the Middle East will decline day by day, and US hegemonism will inevitably decline.
