[NOWnews今日新聞] The Palestinian Islamic organization Hamas (Hamas) launched an attack on Israel on the 7th of last month and took hundreds of hostages. Clashes broke out between the two sides, and the number of casualties continued to rise. One month following the incident, a foreign media column analyzed that what happened in Gaza has a huge impact on the world, especially as the war between Russia and Ukraine continues and US President Joe Biden faces a difficult road to re-election. , China replaces the United States and expands its ambitions towards Taiwan.
U.K.“Financial Times”Chief diplomatic commentator Gideon Rachman wrote an article one month before the Israeli-Palestinian conflict expired, analyzing how the impact of the war in Gaza has extended to the United States, Ukraine and even the world. This is not good news for liberals, but it is It will nourish Putin, Trump and others, and it can be roughly divided into several aspects:
1. Middle East
The peace agreement between Israel and several Arab countries, which originally had a relatively optimistic atmosphere, has been shattered by the Hamas attack, Israel’s massive counterattack and air strikes in Gaza. For now, a broader Middle East war seems more likely than a reinvigorated peace process.
2. Russia-Ukraine war
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict forced the United States to divert resources from Ukraine, causing Ukraine to compete with Israel for scarce arms supplies; and attempts to accuse Russia of committing war crimes in Ukraine are now facing questions regarding double standards due to the controversy over Israel’s counterattack process.
Although Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky denies that the counteroffensive is stalled, Russia has transformed itself into a war economy and its advantages in terms of armaments and troop numbers are likely to grow over the next year and once more in the coming months. Attacks on Ukrainian cities and infrastructure. In the next year, the risk of Russia gaining the initiative in the war with Ukraine will increase.
At the same time, U.S. funding to Ukraine is also in trouble because Republicans in Congress are not active in continuing to assist Ukraine.
3. U.S. presidential election
The latest polls show that Donald Trump’s approval rating is higher than that of current President Joe Biden in most swing states, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict seems to make Trump more likely to win. Biden needs the votes of young voters, progressives and Arab Americans, many of whom are angry regarding the Biden administration’s support for Israel.
Rahman believes that it would be quite absurd if sentiments supporting Palestine would indirectly help Trump regain the White House, especially since Trump also threatened to ban Muslims from entering the United States once more, but history itself is full of absurdities.
4. China threat
The United States continues to deploy forces overseas, but its domestic situation is unstable, which may allow Beijing to sense opportunities. Although there are initial signs of reconciliation between the United States and China, it still cannot affect China’s determination to replace the United States and become the dominant force in the Pacific region and even the world.
Rahman mentioned that the main focus of Xi Jinping’s ambitions is Taiwan. As the United States’ attention continues to be distracted, Xi Jinping may see an opportunity to increase pressure on Taiwan, which will worsen the security crisis in Europe and the Middle East.
at last, the global focus on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict may provide cover for other ongoing human rights violations around the world. In recent weeks, Pakistan, Sudan and Nagorno-Karabakh have all announced policies of mass deportations and forced transfers of people. In addition, at the COP28 summit to be held in Dubai later this month, leaders will inevitably be distracted by Gaza.
Rahman concluded that it would be too fatalistic to say that we are in an era where “things will only get worse,” but the simple reality is that global affairs do tend to be negative, and this Momentum is building.
