Analysts and experts had mixed opinions about America’s goals and plans regarding the unprecedented support for “Israel“And the military buildup in the area, following an attack Al-Qassam Brigades -The military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement (agitation)- On barracks and settlement bases Gaza cover.
While some analysts believed that Washington aims to deter sending aircraft carriers and special forces to the region, others pointed out that the matter is bigger than that and is linked to major arrangements in the Middle East, where the West believes that it is at a historic turning point in regaining its control over the world.
Great arrangements in the region
Dr. Liqaa Makki, the senior researcher at the Al Jazeera Center for Studies, says that what is happening is more than mere deterrence. “The messages are direct military and have a strategic dimension,” and he did not rule out the arrival of other Western forces and political arrangements that go beyond occupied Palestine.
He pointed out that the matter is related to major arrangements in the region, and cited the words of French President Emmanuel as evidence Macron About an international coalition against Hamas, he went on to say that what is happening are “arrangements for after the battle and not just for deterrence.”
He noted the unity of the Democratic and Republican parties behind the American move and support for Israel, and said that it was unprecedented support October War 1973, and stressed that the West no longer looks at the humanitarian dimension, “but rather at achieving goals.”
He added that America supported Israel in the 1967 and 1973 wars, and is currently participating with it in the fighting and contributing to some field operations, before stressing that the military mobilization taking place during the coming period and periods “will result in an important change in the history of the region.”
He believes that the so-called “axis of resistance” is a fundamental threat to America’s interests, and he cited the economic corridor that starts from India, passing through the Gulf states, Israel, and then Europe as an example, and pointed out that it comes in the context of an initiative competition.Belt and Road“Chinese.
At the end of his comment, he concluded that the military buildup is related to future interests, re-controlling energy sources, and reorganizing the world by the West, noting that this is the reason why the West stands firmly against China, Russia, and Hamas.
After October 7
In turn, Professor of Political Science and International Relations, Dr. Khalil Al-Anani, believes that part of the American support for Israel carries a moral dimension, and American anticipation of any invasion of Gaza, especially the urban and street warfare that the Americans experienced, and the possibility of expanding the battle regionally with Iran or its arms.
He pointed out that there is another Middle East after October 7, “in which Israel may become a state that no one fears if its ground operation in Gaza fails,” or “it may be the dominant power if its invasion succeeds.”
However, Al-Anani believes that the American presence is linked to a strategic situation and sending deterrence messages. At the same time, he ruled out Iranian interference, but he said that the expansion of the war fronts would be hell for America after its president presented Joe… Biden Washington’s interests are on a golden platter for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
As for the implications of the Hamas attack, the academic confirms that it struck the “American Middle East,” which was built decades ago beginning with the peace process between Egypt and Israel, and is based on the latter being the dominant force that curbs anti-American forces. He described the two-state solution discourse that Washington is repeating as deceptive, after its involvement. On the path to normalization.
He believed that the Hamas attack struck all of this, as Israel became clear that it was not as strong as it was portrayed, and brought the Palestinian issue back to the forefront, to the point that the authoritarian regimes in the region allowed demonstrations for fear of their people moving and overthrowing them.
Regarding the gains that Biden reaped from his strong support for Israel, he pointed to the increase in his popular support before the presidential and parliamentary elections next year, and pointed to the influence of the Jewish bloc, not its size, but he stressed that what Biden did was a political gamble that could topple him.
Deter and contain
For his part, military and strategic expert Fayez Al-Duwairi said that the American mobilization of aircraft carriers, an air bridge and the sending of special forces is the largest since Operation “Desert Storm“He added that dealing with Hamas and…Gaza strip They do not require this power.
He expressed his belief that sending American experts and strategic planners aims to deter what is behind Hamas, referring to Hezbollah and Iranian agents in Syria and Iraq, as well as Tehran.
He believes that America does not want Israel to get involved in a way that it cannot bear, because its army does not have sufficient capacity to fight cities, unlike American General James Glenn, who was sent to provide advice.
He limited the American presence to two points, the first related to defining the framework of the operation, while the second concerned the American Delta Force, which has both the intelligence and operational dimensions, so “it may carry out precise and specific operations to liberate prisoners in Gaza and not to operate on the territory of the Strip.”
He concluded his speech by emphasizing that Israel is one of the tools for implementing Western hegemony in the region, pointing out that global conditions have become more complex, and the Middle East is the heart of the world’s problems.
