The Hindu Vocab On The U.S. And Israel Policy Mismatch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The U.S. must not arm Israel while asking it to halt Gaza strikes\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When the\u00a0Israel-Hamas war\u00a0began on\u00a0October 7, the immediate<\/strong> (happening or done without delay<\/strong>) priority of United States President Joe Biden was to prevent the conflict from widening into a regional war involving Israel and its rivals. Mr. Biden adopted a two-fold strategy. He offered unconditional support for Israel\u2019s war on Gaza, launched after\u00a0Hamas\u2019s attack on October 7, in which at least 1,200 people were killed, and unleashed a diplomatic effort to keep tensions low between Tel Aviv and its neighbours. But when the war raged on for months, with huge civilian casualties in Gaza, the Biden policy started falling apart. Today, as the war is set to enter its eighth month, Mr. Biden looks increasingly vulnerable<\/strong> (able to be easily physically or mentally hurt, influenced, or attacked<\/strong>) to its regional and domestic consequences. Over 34,000 people, a vast majority of them women and children, have been killed by the Israeli Defense Forces in Gaza;\u00a0Israel vows to invade Rafah, the southernmost town in Gaza where more than 1.4 million Palestinians have taken refuge, despite Mr. Biden\u2019s warning against such a move; with Houthi attacks on ships in the Red Sea and strikes and counterstrikes between Israel and Iran, the conflict has already spread beyond the borders of Palestinian territories and Israel, though a full-scale regional war has been avoided so far; the conflict has triggered massive protests by university students in the U.S., piling up pressure on Mr. Biden to reconsider<\/strong> (to think again about a decision or opinion and decide if you want to change it<\/strong>) his policy towards Israel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To their credit, Biden officials have been working relentlessly<\/strong> (in an extreme way that continues without stopping<\/strong>) to achieve a ceasefire and hostage<\/strong> (someone who is taken as a prisoner by an enemy in order to force the other people involved to do what the enemy wants<\/strong>) deal between Israel and Hamas. Mr. Biden\u2019s timely response to shoot down the drones and missiles fired by Iran against Israel and his warning to the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, that the U.S. would not join Israel\u2019s retaliation<\/strong> (the act of hurting someone or doing something harmful to someone because they have done or said something harmful to you<\/strong>) against Iran, helped ease regional tensions. But his overall approach towards the crisis is flawed. The way Israel is carrying out its war on Gaza is against all the values America preaches about wars and human rights. The U.S. kept supplying weapons to the Jewish nation even amid mounting allegations<\/strong> (a statement, made without giving proof, that someone has done something wrong or illegal<\/strong>) and evidence<\/strong> (facts, information, documents, etc. that give reason to believe that something is true<\/strong>) that Israel was indiscriminately bombing and destroying Gaza. Even when Mr. Biden seemed frustrated with Mr. Netanyahu\u2019s intransigence, he signed a Bill offering $17 billion in defence aid to Israel. Mr. Biden\u2019s words and diplomatic efforts for truce are actually not matched by strong actions to pressure Israel. And, by continuing to arm and bankroll Israel\u2019s genocidal war on Palestinians, Mr. Biden is debilitating his own moral arguments<\/strong> (a disagreement, or the process of disagreeing<\/strong>) about foreign policy. Not just morality, Mr. Biden\u2019s inability to rein in Israel is weakening America\u2019s standing in West Asia and sullying his already fragile candidacy in the U.S. presidential elections in November. If the 81-year-old President is serious about peace in West Asia, he should first address the flaws in his policy towards Israel and Palestine. There were several examples of American Presidents using hard pressure on Israel for peace. Mr. Biden should at least show the courage to call for a permanent ceasefire<\/strong> (an agreement, usually between two armies, to stop fighting in order to allow discussions about peace<\/strong>) in Gaza and adopt policies, including suspending arms sales to Israel, to meet that goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
