Biden simply cannot stop the war
Since the beginning of the war in Gaza, the United States has shown great sympathy and unlimited support for Israel, declaring its right to “self-defense against terrorist operations” committed by the Hamas.
The US support for Israel isn’t a new deal, as the United States was the main supporter politically, economically, and militarily since its founding.
Historically, Republicans have been more aligned with Israel, while Democrats’ support for the Zionist entity has been softer.
President Biden, who historically believes in the idea of a two-state solution, found himself in a dilemma due to developments in events, including the deal of the century and Washington’s recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
In addition, the relationship between him and Netanyahu was affected by his government’s reforms and escalating tensions.
Netanyahu, the prime minister of Israel for long periods, became a phenomenon in the Israeli political arena, and challenged Biden through his strong positions and religious thought.
Biden, the oldest president in the history of the United States, found himself in a difficult position, as his country’s prestige was affected by health problems and challenges; Internal and external.
Biden’s reaction to Hamas attack on October 7, last year was politically significant, but the long events of the war showed the weakness of the Israeli army and affected global and US public opinion.
Biden asked to stop the war or turn it into operations targeting Hamas leaders more precisely.
In the end, it seems that the political and strategic challenges are too much for Biden, and he needs to address them with caution and wisdom.
With the economic situation in the United States and the world, the volume of US aid to Ukraine increased over the past two years to $124 billion dollars, and the public debt of the United States reached 2.3 trillion, after it was only about 700 billion before the war in Ukraine, a big question arises here about directing support.
The US government and public debt to contribute to securing ammunition for Ukraine and Israel, especially in light of Gaza’s consumption of ammunition, which exceeded expectations.
Does the United States really want to stop the war in Gaza?
Or is the war in the region the result of a US strategy implemented by Israel?
The most important question arises: Can President Biden pressure Netanyahu to stop the war in Gaza, or are the allegations of difference in visions between America and Israel merely a division of roles?
In this context, the strategic position announced by Biden intersects with Netanyahu’s position (the necessity of eliminating the Hamas movement), but differs in the tactics (means and method of implementation) to achieve the declared goal.
It shows that there is a real disagreement stemming from the escalation of Netanyahu’s policies that expose the interests of the United States.
Opinion polls indicate the involvement of American youth against the war in Gaza, which affects Biden’s popularity and makes it more difficult for him to deal with Netanyahu.
Many factors appear that make it difficult for Biden to force an end to the war, including his personality, health condition, and his influence by figures such as Netanyahu and Golda Meir, and the pressures of the Zionist lobby and Congress.
All data indicates that Netanyahu has become a burden on the international community, and getting rid of him serves the interest of everyone, from Israel to the United States of America.
