Analysts: The Middle East is close to a "full-scale war", and the US policy is "extremely harmful"
In view of the current situation in the Middle East, analysts warn that the region may slide into a "full-scale war", while United States blindly supports Israel, and in regional conflicts, United States's approach is extremely harmful.
Bara · Hiban, a researcher at the Royal Tri-Services Research Institute in United Kingdom, said that now Israel is now in conflict or military confrontation with Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Iran and other countries, and it has become more difficult to achieve a ceasefire through diplomatic channels, and there is a danger of full-scale war breaking out in the Middle East.
Bara's · Hiban, Research Fellow, Royal Tri-Services Institute, United Kingdom: Regional full-scale war is getting closer and closer to breaking out, mainly between Israel and Iran. Now that Israel seems ready to escalate its military confrontation with Iran, I'm not sure what Iran will do.
Mayi · Sadani, executive director of the United States Tahril Institute for Middle East Policy, criticized that United States unconditionally providing weapons to Israel and constantly giving the Israel the "green light" to escalate the conflict violates international law. In regional conflicts, the United States' approach is extremely harmful.
· Sadani, Executive Director, Middle East Policy Institute, Tahril United States: Unfortunately, the United States has not made any useful efforts in the Gaza conflict and now in the Lebanese-Israeli conflict. In fact, the role played by the United States is often extremely harmful, and even the violations we have seen over the past year have been directly complicit in the violations in which the United States has been directly involved. The United States gave the "green light" to one of its closest allies to continue killing civilians, in violation of international law and all international standards.
