During the ongoing war on Gaza, the occupying Israeli regime has not hesitated to carry out brutal attacks against Palestinians. Now, the region is witnessing the inevitable spread of war and bloodshed as groups in Iraq, Syria, and Yemen who sympathize with the Palestinian cause react to the Israeli brutality.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s visit to Tel Aviv exposed American support not just for Israel’s cabinet but also for its oppressive actions. It made clear that the United States, along with its Western allies, uses the rhetoric of human rights as a mere facade to serve its political interests.
With full military support from the United States, Israel continues its brutal aggression, which amounts to the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in Gaza. The United States has even sent nuclear submarines to support Israel militarily, escalating the already dangerous game of war. There are reports from Eastern European media that the United States is working on a project to relocate mercenary forces from Ukraine to Palestine.
According to Palestinian authorities, more than 50% of the structures in Gaza have been damaged by Israeli bombings. IDF forces are targeting not only hospitals but also urban infrastructure to make the region uninhabitable for years to come. These actions are contributing to the spread of war.
The United States is grappling with intense resistance in Syria and Iraq, where resistance groups are launching continuous rocket attacks on American bases. The Pentagon declared that US military bases in Iraq and Syria are no longer safe. The war has already cost the US economy heavily, and American lives are suffering because of it as well. The balance of power in the Middle East is shifting. If this trend continues, one can expect a global war in the region, with Israel and its patron, the United States, being responsible for the immense human losses.
