Washington fears if the war expands US ships will be targeted.
“Abd al-Bari Atwan”, a famous analyst of the Arab world, in an article in Rai Al-Yum, referring to the developments of the Lebanese front with occupied Palestine, said that due to the intensification of the conflict in the southern Lebanese front between the resistance groups and the occupying army of the Israeli regime, the nightmare of expanding the scope of the war that shakes It attacks the American government and is extremely afraid of it, it is showing off.
He pointed to the new and hasty process of developments and the firing of 20 rockets last night from southern Lebanon and the targeting of targets in the Galilee and the reaction of the Zionist army’s artillery.
Pointing to US Foreign Minister Anthony Blinken’s call for a cease-fire in Gaza and that the US government is looking for a cease-fire, Atwan writes: Blinken, who does not shy away from declaring himself a Zionist, has resorted to trickery and instead of being with We are not surprised that a cease-fire was made to prevent the development of the war and the entry of Hezbollah into it.
This analyst continues: two possibilities confirm this theory; First, the US government is looking for a cease-fire to reduce the losses and damages of the Israeli regime and prevent the development of the war, and this is after the failure of the army of this regime in shaping the fate of the war in its favor, and the international opposition due to the increase in the number of civilian bombing victims. Especially children and women have increased and the attitude of the world public opinion has changed rapidly and is not in favor of Israel, but Netanyahu is against the ceasefire because he considers it to be in the interest of Hamas and it destroys all his hopes for the total eradication of Hamas, even without Its second goal is to realize the freedom of all captives.
Second, Blinken has acted completely in line with Netanyahu and does not put pressure on him, and he is fundamentally opposed to a cease-fire without achieving the two aforementioned goals, i.e. the destruction of Hamas and the release of Zionist prisoners.
This analyst writes: Considering Netanyahu’s approach of exploiting the Gaza war to prolong the life of his fascist cabinet and escape from being imprisoned on charges of corruption and abuse of power, we consider the above two items to be true. According to the Zionist lobby ruling of the US government, Netanyahu is stronger than US President Joe Biden, and the proof of this is the lack of attention to Biden’s decisions, especially the ceasefire in Gaza or even the humanitarian ceasefire.
Atwan adds: “Ehud Barak”, the former prime minister of the Israeli regime, said in a statement that this regime is not capable of continuing long-term military operations. The defeat of Hamas needs a year, while the support of the West is decreasing due to the increase in the number of civilian deaths in Gaza and the concern about a major and catastrophic war for the region is increasing.
He adds: The possibilities of the spread of the great war in the region are very high and it may happen from the south of Lebanon. Even if the Lebanese resistance is neutral, which is generally unlikely; Its allied Palestinian resistance groups, Al-Qassam, which fired 17 rockets into Galilee, and Saraya Al-Quds, both supported by Hezbollah, are fully active on the Lebanese front.
This analyst concluded: that Netanyahu will definitely leave defeated in the coming days and Hamas will remain stronger than before, just as America was defeated and the Iraqi resistance remained; But if the scope of the war expands in revenge for America’s trick, by opening the Lebanon front, it is not unlikely that American ships in the Middle East will be its first and biggest victims.
According to Atwan, it may be useful to remember the destruction of the headquarters of the American Marines in Beirut during the martyrdom operation of 1983 and the killing of 284 soldiers forty years ago and before the era of point missiles and drones.
