The US; Failed actor of peace or the director of the Gaza Massacre

The Western-Hebrew media empire, due to heavy public pressure, tends to suggest that Joe Biden's visit to the occupied territories was "a failed act of peacemaking", but a second analysis, such as that put forward by Ali Shamkhani, political adviser to the Supreme Leader of the Revolution, says the United States is leading Israel's war cabinet and has started a proxy war.

NOURNEWS- “Welcome, Mr. President!” This short writing in the background of a heroic portrait of Joe Biden in the hands of residents of Tel Aviv was a clear indication of what was going on under the dry and violent crust of the bloody Gaza conflict.

Following the collapse of mythical symbols of the Israeli intelligence, security, and military apparatus during Operation Al-Aqsa Storm, the Zionist regime’s PM, Benjamin Netanyahu is at least the most disliked of his citizens, and in this situation, in the darkest days of Tel Aviv, Biden arrived at Ben-Gurion airport as “Israel's savior” to become the first US president to visit a war-torn region.

The 80-year-old US president put a hand on Netanyahu's shoulder, spent his credit verifying Tel Aviv's account of the attack on Gaza’s Baptist hospital, and finally promised another blank check. But these are just some of the understandings reached during the president-secretary of state's meeting with Israel's prime minister and war cabinet because not everything that goes on a political trip is visible and private and confidential meetings largely lead to agreements that have no immediate indication but change the course of future events.

The Failed Act for Peace: The First Narrative of Biden's Journey

The U.S. president's visit in the English language media framed a specific narration and purpose; Biden had a risky trip to wounded Tel Aviv to firstly show that the US alliance with Israel is at its strongest and secondly to prevent the spread of tensions in the Middle East. The same argument supported the deployment of US troops to the Mediterranean within the framework of two strike groups. From the media perspective, the US president and his warships are trying to “deter” the escalation of the conflict and prevent the boundaries of hostility from exceeding the limits of what they are. According to familiar Western media outlets and news agencies, the atmosphere brought credibility and political prestige to prevent the Middle East from catching fire before the situation reached a point of no return, and while supporting Israel and regarding the civilians of Gaza; the small package of $100 million and the lobby for the movement of 20 trucks to the area also promoted by the media as a symbol of Biden's humanitarian approach.

Under the pre-announced schedule, Biden was scheduled to meet with Jordan's King Abdullah II, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, and Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas, but due to the attack on the Baptist hospital, all the apparent equations of the trip were disrupted. Although a number of Arab leaders in the region generally tended to ignore the feelings and public opinion of their people in the face of Israel, the depth of the tragedy also forced the rulers of the UAE, Egypt, and Jordan to react. The US president's trip was half-finished because of the cancellation of the Jordan summit, and Biden left the airport with his shoulders down and empty hands with Air Force One to leave the airport and come home. His trip became a missed opportunity in history, an example that the US has no power to stop the upcoming events and that whatever happens is out of this country’s will and control.

Although the Americans tried to consider Hamas’s operation equivalent to the 9/11 attacks a few hours after Operation Al-Aqsa in order to designate Hamas as a terrorist group like al-Qaeda and purge the insane reactions of the Zionist regime, what appears to be that the US does not want to choose the same version of the time, namely direct military intervention, and once again engage in a chronic military conflict that lacks a clear exit strategy and even lacks a specific, realistic definition of success or victory, BBC, Reuters, The Washington Post, New York Times and … The numerous arms of the dominating media empire over the past week have analyzed Biden’s visit in this way and have finally addressed the question of how developments in the Middle East will affect Biden's political future.

War Director: The Second Narrative of Biden's Journey

The second narrative deals with the second and third layers of the recent US moves after the Hamas’s operation, the same scenario that Ali Shamkhani, political adviser to the Supreme Leader and a true member of the Expediency Council, unveiled in his social media account “X” and redefined the recent US presence in the non-Western frame, writing: “US large-scale presence in the region along with provision of money and weapons for more killings, aligned actors team up and political-media support of Israel in recent crisis, proved; Zionist army is proxy of US in occupied Palestine, and Washington is responsible for all crimes.” Accordingly, in the aftermath of the Al-Aqsa Storm operation, the US did not act as a strategic ally of Israel, but has arrived in the scene as a far more serious and significant role and the US president's visit to the occupied territories is only the beginning of it.

From this perspective, the most honest statement the US president made after his visit to the occupied territories was that the world was witnessing a “historic turning point.” Although Biden made these warnings the basis for attracting special financial and arms packages to his defeated ally, international observers agree with the first part of the U.S. president's remarks. Because the deaths of nearly 1,200 Israelis were the least significant result of Operation Al-Aqsa Storm. The collapse of the impenetrable notion of security fences and identified holes in the Zionist intelligence system was part of the results of the Hamas operation, which in a word, mocked the intelligence and military dominance of Israel, the United States, and their other allies.

The shock of the surprise al-Aqsa storm not only took the focus and subsequent initiative from Tel Aviv but also showed that the Zionist regime, with all the material and political costs it has placed on the US, cannot be a firm US foothold in the Middle East.

The United States, the first country to recognize the occupying regime of Jerusalem, and today it is Israel's largest partner with a trade value of $50 billion, provides military assistance of $3.8 billion annually to the regime, pays them a total of $158 billion and signs a blank check from time to time, trades them with some countries in the region with the aim of strengthening the regional position and as a result of an invisible security structure facilitates Tel Aviv to be the detached US capital of the Middle East. In such a context, the travel of American officials to the occupied territories and the financial, weapon, and intelligence assistance of the United States has a different meaning. Given such backgrounds, it is understandable why Joe Biden, without thinking about the electoral consequences of his presence in a war zone, “confirms the fake accounts of Hamas' beheading of 40 babies.” And “disclaimer of Israel's responsibility in the attack on the Baptist hospital,” opens its warm embrace on Tel Aviv, comforts Netanyahu, and doesn't mind being accused of the “historical hypocrisy” of Americans who defend human rights concepts only when it comes to their interests.

Immediately after returning to the White House, Biden put a $106 billion budget request on the table, which he said would be spent on military and security assistance to Ukraine, and Israel and securing the southern border of the United States. The United States has also sent 11 warships to the eastern Mediterranean in two strike groups after Hamas' surprise operation. The First Strike Force, known as Ford, is a $13 billion aircraft carrier with 5,000 crew members that can carry 90 attack and support aircraft in the form of eight squadrons.  The F-35 multirole attack fighter, which stealth and fights face-to-face with other fighters, conducts aerial bombardment, and provides ground support to its own forces, is part of the fleet of aircraft. The Eisenhower carrier, which was later deployed to the Mediterranean, is a nuclear-powered Nimitz carrier with 5,600 crew members and nine squadrons with more than 70 aircraft. A surveillance aircraft known as Hawk's Eye that can transmit early warnings about the threat of missile launches is an electronic warfare aircraft and MH-60 helicopter to combat submarines and conduct surface warfare, from Eisenhower's fleet of aircraft.

A famous saying goes, “Drama is half the war”; Yet the United States has stated the said military campaign is aimed at “de-escalation” and “deterrence,” rather than military support or direct intervention in the ongoing conflict between Hamas and Israel, yet other evidence suggests that there is likely to be a significant gap between reality and the narrative. Evidence that shows the United States is no longer a strategic ally, or third party between the Israeli regime and the Arab allies of the United States and has turned into a fierce ally in five levels of political, armed, financial, intelligence and media support and has taken over the initiative of the said matters out of the shaky hands of the Israeli regime and now sits behind the killing machine.
