Analysts believe that the United States of America is not willing to stop the war that Israel is waging against Gaza stripDespite its ability to do this and even establish an independent Palestinian state, they attribute this to the control of internal political interests over the foreign policy of the President’s administration. joe biden.

Over the past three months, Washington has proven that it does not want to stop the war, and that it is involved and conspiring in what is happening, according to Dalal Erekat, professor of diplomacy and conflict management, who says that the American president can stop the war immediately if he wants to, but he continues to provide protection to the occupying state.

During her participation in the program “Gaza… What Next?”, Erekat said that everyone knows that talking about Washington’s inability to convince the government Benjamin Netanyahu By bringing in aid, or reducing the number of civilian casualties, this is not true, stressing that Washington is the only one capable of curbing this extremist government and bringing about a ceasefire.

Biden does not want to stop the war

Erekat added, “The former American president Jimmy Carter He is the only one who had previously influenced Israel, and then he came Donald Trump He recognized occupied Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, violating all international laws, and therefore Biden can also do whatever he wants with Tel Aviv through the great powers he enjoys, but he does not want to.”

Even the slight change in American dealings with what Israel is doing, whether in Gaza or… West BankIt is due to factors, including the growing division within Israel, which Washington and the Zionist lobby fear will threaten Israel’s survival in the region, Erekat says.

In addition, Erekat attributes the slight change in Washington's dealings with Netanyahu to the increasing decline of Biden's chances against Trump in the upcoming elections.

The same opinion was held by former US State Department official Ambassador Patrick Theros, who said that US foreign policy for the most part “seems to be largely dependent on its internal policy, which is what this war has proven.”

Search for special interests

Theros added, “A majority of members held on Senate The continuation of the war in pursuit of electoral interests confirms that those in charge of affairs in Washington look to their narrow interests as they deal with this crisis.”

Theros expressed his surprise at Biden's insistence on not putting serious pressure on Netanyahu, stressing that Washington “could do this if it wanted.”

There is another mistake in American policy – as Theros says – which is that it mixes the personality of the Israeli Prime Minister with Israel, and thus Washington supports the Prime Minister at the expense of Israel's interest, as it did in the past.

Theros believes that the United States must distance itself from the Gaza disaster and Israel's extremist leaders, and work to stop the war in order to stop attacks. Houthi group Yemen in the Red Sea, and preventing the war from reaching Lebanon.

But the leading American diplomat believes that politicians in Washington do not stop at the borders of internal interests and their own interests, and therefore they will not move to actually stop the war unless it spreads to other countries in the region, from his point of view.

The evidence that the United States is dealing with the war from the perspective of internal interests is that the American media does not report anything about what is happening in Gaza, and the whole story begins with what happened on the seventh of last October (Al-Aqsa flood), as part of a propaganda campaign that creates an environment that does not support demands to stop the war, Theros says.

Trying to exploit the war

Another aspect that Erekat referred to relates to Washington’s desire to pass a project Normalization In the region, especially with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, in exchange for stopping the war as a price for sparing Palestinian blood, something that no longer deceives anyone, according to her.

Erekat believes that the Biden administration is playing the same game that puts recognition of Israel at the forefront, while the establishment of a Palestinian state is at the bottom of every agreement.

She stressed that the Arabs and Palestinians must demand Washington and everyone who supports the idea of ​​normalization in exchange for stopping the war and implementing it The two-state solution That implementation begins with the immediate end of the occupation and defining the borders of these two states and then moving forward with the rest of the details, not the other way around.

Erekat added, “We are failing in using our legal and diplomatic pressure cards, and Arab leaders must remind the Americans that negotiations are one card among many, and the Arab countries have a lot that they can do economically and diplomatically.”

In addition, the Palestinian Authority must work from today to seriously restore Palestinian unity, and search for a comprehensive solution that includes all players and guarantees all Palestinian rights.

She concluded by saying, “These old games that Washington has been playing for 4 decades to achieve Israel’s interests in exchange for unfulfilled promises to establish the State of Palestine have become exposed to everyone,” stressing that everyone must acknowledge the fact that Islamic resistance movement (Hamas) and the State of Qatar must be part of any future plan, especially after Doha confirmed its position as a reliable mediator who can reach solutions with guaranteed implementation with all parties.

She added, “The Biden administration is trying to delude the Arab countries that normalization is a way to stop the waterfall of Palestinian blood, and Washington has previously played the same roles in Afghanistan and Venezuela, by talking about restoring democracy or combating terrorism.”

Theros supported this talk by saying that the real solution to the crisis is to begin with the establishment of the State of Palestine and not the other way around, but he believes that those in charge of the matter in Washington “have become accustomed to a certain policy for decades, and it will be difficult to change it.”

The extreme right in Israel also does not want the State of Qatar to have any role in future negotiations, and they are launching widespread campaigns to expel it, because they believe that it will lead to the establishment of the Palestinian state that they do not want.

Theros concluded by saying that he does not see any indication that Biden will change his position on the current war unless it extends to other countries in the region.
