What is America looking for in the Gaza war?
In the two months that have passed since the start of the war in Gaza, the only statements by American officials that smell of some kind of tactical disagreement with the Israelis are their emphasis on reducing civilian casualties and reducing the level of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. |
International Group Tasnim News – Joe Biden administration, Despite the international pressures in the world and the pressures of public opinion inside this country, the American president has not supported the cessation of the war in Gaza at least until now and has announced this issue publicly.
For example, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said during his visit to occupied Palestine: “Israel has the right to do whatever it takes to ensure that the massacre of October 7 by Hamas is not repeated.”
The American officials have specified four goals in their public positions regarding the war between Hamas and Israel, which include explicit support for Israel, preventing the spread of this conflict outside the Gaza Strip, and the release of more than 200 prisoners. is in the captivity of Hamas and helping to reduce the level of humanitarian crisis in Gaza. The tactical difference with the Israelis is their emphasis on reducing civilian casualties and reducing the level of humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
American officials in public statements and in private circles repeatedly emphasize the need to take measures. Israel has emphasized to prevent the killing of civilians in Gaza.
In the past days, White House officials have emphasized that Israel cannot implement the strategy implemented in northern Gaza in the south, which is more densely populated.
However, it would be simplistic to assume that these statements mean the importance of human lives to US government officials. Putting the other pieces of the puzzle together reveals that such positions are made not out of concern for the inherent right of human life, but out of an effort to protect Israel and prevent international pressure on Israel for military operations and, by the way, to facilitate the killing of civilians.
When Blinken was in occupied Palestine, the Axios base reported that he warned in a meeting with the Israeli war cabinet that as long as the war in Gaza continues with the current intensity, the pressure on Tel Aviv will increase. and Washington will increase, and therefore it will make it difficult to advance Israel’s operations in Gaza. The Wall Street Journal reports that Washington secretly sent 100 mortar bombs and other types of weapons to Tel Aviv for use in the war.
This newspaper quoted American officials revealed that since the start of Israel’s operations in Gaza, the US has quietly increased the delivery of weapons to Tel Aviv, including 15,000 bombs and 57,000 bullets.
Wall Street Journal, referring to the dichotomy between American policy and the statements of American officials, wrote that on the one hand, Washington invites its main ally in the region to avoid increasing civilian casualties, but on the other hand, many of the ammunition that it to provide Tel Aviv with the operations through which they are carried out.
Joe Biden’s administration, contrary to its practice regarding the war in Ukraine, which made public the statistics related to the shipment of weapons It declares that it has not published any statistics regarding arms deals with Israel.
Among other evidences about America’s aid to Israel’s killing machine is yesterday’s Al-Jazeera report, which revealed that At the level of intelligence and intelligence, the country participates in two Israeli operations rooms, one is in Tel Aviv and the other is in the vicinity of the Gaza Strip, and the countries of the United States, England, France, Germany and Italy are present in it.
America has always supported the crimes of the Zionists in the past years, and through this support, it has opened Israel’s hand to resort to any violence and cruelty against the people of Gaza. The same support from the West and the United States has continued its brutal crimes during these years. The United Nations has condemned Israel’s actions, but nothing happens in practice.
In fact, Washington may have sometimes allowed resolutions against its ally to be passed, but never pressure. It has not applied significant measures to achieve certain goals, including humanitarian breaks, halting the occupation or the creation of a Palestinian state, or allowing pressure to be imposed on Israel.
For decades, Washington’s military support to Israel has been very high in quantity and quality. In a “memorandum of understanding” (MOU) signed in 2016, Washington plans to give Israel up to $38 billion in military aid. This figure is almost twice the total annual defense budget of a country like Spain, which is much larger than Israel in terms of economy and population. Estimates suggest that total US taxpayer military aid to Israel exceeds $300 billion when adjusted for inflation.
America seeks to ensure that Israel always has a qualitative advantage over its enemies. So for example, Israel was the first regime to receive US-made F-35 fighter jets, the most advanced aircraft in the world. America has also helped to finance and manufacture the Iron Dome, Israel’s anti-missile defense system.
Besides America’s role, the United Nations has also played a role in Israel’s crimes. The fact that Israel does not comply with UN resolutions shows the weakness and inefficiency of this organization.
