Gaza War Enters Fourth Month as U.S. Policy Faces Global Scrutiny
The Gaza conflict, now in its fourth month, has left over 22,000 dead and sparked a humanitarian crisis that’s shaking global confidence in Washington’s leadership. Critics argue U.S. support for Israel’s military campaigns has gone beyond 'self-defense,' fueling regional instability. 🕊️💔
Behind the Crisis: U.S. Backing and Blocked Ceasefires
Military aid from the Biden administration, much of it bypassing Congress, has enabled Israel’s prolonged strikes. Meanwhile, Washington’s repeated vetoes of UN Security Council ceasefire proposals have stalled critical aid efforts. 'Without U.S. backing, this scale of escalation wouldn’t be possible,' analysts say.
Regional Domino Effect: From Lebanon to the Red Sea
The conflict is spreading, with attacks escalating in Lebanon, Iran, and Yemen. Israeli Premier Benjamin Netanyahu’s campaign has drawn backlash globally and even strained Israel’s economy. Meanwhile, Houthi disruptions in the Red Sea are testing international trade routes — and U.S. crisis management. 🌐🔥
Biden’s Balancing Act Backfires?
Despite frequent diplomatic visits to the Middle East, U.S. efforts appear focused on containment rather than de-escalation. With the Ukraine war still raging, critics say Washington’s 'double-game' strategy is eroding its global standing faster than ever.
