Yediot Aharanot: America has taken over the leadership of the war.
According to Hebrew-language media, the presence of the American aircraft carrier and Blinken’s participation in the Israeli cabinet meetings, along with Biden’s statements and his imminent trip, all show the broad support of the United States. Still, these aids will also have costs for Israel because the presence of the American president can put this war in the framework of the United States’ wishes.
Yossi Yehoshua wrote in a report published in Yediot Aharonot newspaper: After the Israeli cabinet was armed with Bani Gantz and Eisenkot, another person joined them on Monday (last week), a member that can be described as somewhat unusual. did
US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, who came to announce the full support of the US for Israel’s war against Hamas, joined the cabinet meeting.
In the army dictionary, there is a very clear word to describe this work, which in such a situation is referred to as “getting the approval of the plan and map”, that is, in one of the stages, the plans are discussed with a high-ranking official and his point of view in This relationship is taken, and after that, this plan becomes operational.
Yehoshua adds: It is interesting that during the Yom Kippur War, which happened fifty years ago, Henry Kissinger was also present at the meetings of Golda Mayer’s cabinet, and perhaps this indicates the unusual conditions of the October 2023 war.
This note continues: Blinken’s participation in this level of meetings can have general messages for us, firstly, that you cannot create a distance between the most powerful power in the world and its largest ally in the Middle East, also from the words of President Joe Biden and the dispatch of the first aircraft carrier It is said that another ship is supposed to be sent to the region, and an air bridge of arms aid, including smart bombs, has been established between the two sides, and the visit of the American president to (Occupied Palestine) after Blinken can fully understand the general plans of Washington. Cook here, they all fall in this direction.
According to the author, perhaps this presence and movements of America will prevent the entry of other sides of the axis of resistance, especially Hezbollah and Iran, in opening another front in the north. Still, these actions of America have costs for Israel. The time has come to discuss Let’s deal with it not in an emotional way, but with transparency because the Americans have taken this very seriously and want to take over the commander of the war and advance it within the framework of their strategic interests in the region.
Oder adds to explain this: Maybe, for example, Biden does not pay special attention to active movements to remove the threat of Hezbollah from the settlements in the north (Occupied Palestine), but on the other hand, he tries as much as possible to avoid the human catastrophe in Gaza and the violation of international conventions. Internationally, he has also taken a decisive position regarding the preservation of the lives of the hostages [Zionist prisoners held by Hamas], especially the hostages who have American citizenship, and in this regard until a separate agreement is reached through Qatar, for example, and requested Israel will proceed unilaterally to carry out humanitarian measures. In the end, the White House will prioritize American citizens and then pay attention to the fate of Israeli soldiers.
