Politico: the conflict between Israel and Hamas reveals the limitations of US influence in the world
The armed conflict between Israel and the Palestinian radical Islamist group Hamas has revealed the limitations of Washington’s influence in the world. About this with reference to sources writes American magazine Politico.
“The United States is once again mired in the Middle East, unable to contain Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s offensive in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon, and having difficulty preventing a full-scale war in the region,” the newspaper writes.
As Comfort Herault, head of the International Crisis Group think tank, admitted, the current stage of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict “more than any other crisis has revealed the limitations of US influence.”
The Associated Press previously found that the United States has spent a record amount of at least $17.9 billion on military support for Israel since the Gaza war began on October 7, 2023, escalating the conflict in the Middle East.
