The behavior of the great powers may seem contradictory, but there is a deep logic of interests hidden in them. Recently, a number of Israeli media broke the news that the International Criminal Court (ICC) is about to issue arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, Defense Minister Gallant and IDF Chief of Staff Al-Harlewi. Earlier, the United States planned to sanction the "Yehuda Victory Camp" under the Israel Defense Forces, and after this news was exposed, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was very dissatisfied and angrily criticized the United States for its "absurdity" at that time.
As we all know, although the ICC seems to be independent, it is actually deeply affected by external political, diplomatic and other factors, and can even be said to be the "international division" of the US courts, which ostensibly "presides over justice" on a global scale, but in fact "avoids the important and trivializes", otherwise the United States has launched wars many times, causing serious humanitarian disasters, why has the ICC not issued a single arrest warrant? This time, the ICC threatened to issue an arrest warrant for the Israeli leader, but Netanyahu did not look for the ICC at all, but kept calling the United States, threatening to arrest Netanyahu, and the Israeli army would destroy the entire Palestinian leadership, which shows that Israel knows that the ICC listens to the United States.
Therefore, at least on the surface, the United States is now not only arresting the Israeli leader, but also "shooting" the Israeli army. In this regard, some people may think, "Oh, the superpower has really "discovered its conscience", and after seeing the humanitarian disaster suffered by the Palestinians, Lady Liberty has "relented", and the United States is still "moral." But is that really the case?
Obviously not, just before the United States "sanctioned" Israel, the US House of Representatives passed the military aid bill of more than $60 billion to Ukraine and $26 billion to Israel by an overwhelming majority in a very short period of time. So how to understand this "self-contradictory" approach of the United States?
In fact, the reason is very simple, that is, the United States "wants both face and substance." As everyone knows, since the outbreak of this round of Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the United States has been in a state of "suffocating on the spot", standing in line with Israel, although it can curry favor with the Jews, but it will also offend the world's international public opinion; after all, the Israeli army in Gaza is not doing personnel, even women and children are not spared, causing a serious humanitarian disaster.
Opposing Israel can certainly make a name for itself in the world, and everyone praises the United States for "taking on the responsibility of a great power" and "upholding justice", but Biden will definitely offend the Jewish consortium and at the same time turn his back on his only hardcore brother in the Middle East, which is not in the strategic interests of the United States. As far as face is concerned, it is to criticize the Israeli Government, criticize Netanyahu, and even sanction the Israeli army and arrest Israeli leaders.
As far as Lizi is concerned, the "sheep's head" hanging on the aid bill to Ukraine, selling the "dog meat" of military aid to Israel, passed the aid bill in a low-key and fast manner, with an amount of up to $26 billion, artillery shells, drones, and precision-guided bombs, all of which are "arranged" for the Israeli army. In this way, there will be no cracks in the US-Israel alliance, Biden will not offend the Jewish consortium, and the United States can still deceive global public opinion, so as to "be less scolded", "not scolded", and even incarnate as a "messenger of justice".
Therefore, it should not be surprising that the United States will do all kinds of "self-contradictory" practices toward Israel in the future. For example, the recent news from the Israeli side that the United States has suddenly stopped transporting ammunition to Israel may be another move by the United States to "set up a memorial arch." The United States is nothing more than trying to tell the Arab countries that it does not approve of the Israeli army's attack on Rafah, but who knows whether it will secretly transport ammunition in the later stage? Israel has taken the initiative to expose this news, is there any suspicion of "playing a double reed" with the United States? That is to say, ammunition may still be sent in the later stage, but Israel will not admit it, and will sell its "peace-loving" face to the United States and keep the "lining" of ammunition supply to itself. As for whether this conjecture is correct or not, we only need to pay attention to the outcome of the battle of Rafah.
