They have had to go through more than seven months of destruction, cruelty and deaths, and 35,000 Palestinians murdered, for the United States to start suggesting that Israel might have violated international law in Gaza. Now, to the State Department he thinks “reasonable” consider this possibility. But he cannot be sure, due to lack of evidence, he says, that the American weapons sent there were used for this purpose.

That same weaponry that, for now, they have decided stop your supply given the firm decision of the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, to completely destroy Rafah. Álvaro Argüelles, analyst for ‘The World Order’, points out that “everything indicates that this offensive is imminent and that if (US President Joe) Biden wants to enforce that red line that he has emphasized throughout these months , you have to act now.”

For his part, David Hernández, professor of International Relations at the Complutense University of Madrid, explains that “the White House and Biden are beginning to be aware that this positioning regarding the Middle East War could cost Joe Biden the elections“.

However, at the same time, The United States has voted against the integration of Palestine as a member of the UN. With them, eight other countries, including Israel, whose delegate destroyed the Charter of the United Nations this Fridayimplying that that is what the 143 countries have done who voted in favor of the resolution. Israel is left alone, but the United States remains at its side, the only ones capable of stopping Netanyahu.

Stop supplying weapons, the only solution

David Hernández points out that, “simply, with the United States lifting that veto in the United Nations Security Council and renouncing such determined support for Israel, the conflict can, at this moment, end“.

Along the same lines, Argüelles maintains that “the first and most obvious way to stop the war is not supplying military material that makes it possible later.”70% of Israel’s weapons come from the United Statesso, if Biden wants, this offensive will not materialize,” explains the professor.

Meanwhile, more than 150,000 Palestinians have already left Rafah, refugees who are fleeing, once again, to try to save their lives.
