The Managerial Paradox of the United States in the Al-Aqsa Storm

WANA (Mar 11) – From the outset of the Al-Aqsa operation, the United States has wholeheartedly aligned itself with the Zionist regime. In practical terms, it has pursued political, logistical, operational, financial, and regional objectives, all in the hope of securing a triumphant conclusion for the Zionists and ensuring its own hegemony. There is no doubt about that.

However, after five months of witnessing events in the narrow alleys of Gaza and the broader region, today, not only is the Zionist regime, according to the admission of its officials, facing the worst conditions in the past 70 years, but the United States is also finding itself in various quagmires, especially in its hegemonic position in West Asia.

Since the beginning, Biden, the White House, and the Democrats have had issues with Netanyahu. Today, on one side, Biden must have the approval of the Zionist lobby to secure victory in elections, and on the other side, they cannot bear the costs of Netanyahu’s approach. Each passing day of criminal and heinous events committed by Netanyahu and the Zionist regime, which brings more disgrace to American liberal slogans, becomes a nightmare, forcing them to engage in a humanitarian display of assistance from the air or promise to build a port in Gaza to send aid to the people of Gaza.

Although, according to Israel’s Finance Minister Smotrich’s admission, the regime’s most significant challenge in the current crisis is its weapon depots and all American weapon reserves in the region are being used by the Zionists in Gaza, according to collective statements by Zionist and American military officials, their achievements have been nothing but the accumulation of various crimes, human atrocities, and war crimes, and genocide against the people of Gaza.

Zionists usually act to produce a power balance or operational equilibrium to alleviate some of the fundamental military pressures by involving the United States and the West in their wars or their regional deadlocks. America has fallen into this trap in the Red Sea. Still, senior Pentagon officials admit they cannot rely on a military option against Yemen and, so far, have not achieved any results despite all the diplomatic and military expenses.

While the United States is incapable of maritime and aerial operations in Yemen, the Jewish Hochenstein, the special representative of the United States in Lebanese and Zionist affairs, after repeated visits, has recently drawn lines and signs, indicating that if Hezbollah does not stop its operations in northern occupied Palestine and does not accept a diplomatic solution, Lebanon should expect Israel’s attack and invasion.

Biden and Netanyahu know well that engaging in any extensive action against Lebanon will only result in accelerating the end of the Zionist regime. They are anticipating a much more horrifying image than what they experienced in the 33-day war. If the Zionists in Gaza or the United States in the Red Sea had the power and success, there would be no need for threats against Hezbollah.

It is evident that the Al-Aqsa storm, operationally and in terms of the resistance of the oppressed people of Gaza and the functions of regional resistance, on the one hand, and the heinous and terrorist acts of the Zionists with American support, on the other hand, has undermined all human and international laws and regulations. Today, the foundations of a significant regional and global transformation have been laid. The United States and the West, alongside the Zionist regime, have lost credibility, even in the face of their own public opinion, and have become detested globally, losing their deceptive and arrogant positions.

The new wave in the region and the world is not limited to the Zionists, and the United States, England, and the West must also be prepared to pay the price for their crimes.
