The Guardian: Rather than Conducting Airstrikes in the Middle East, the US Should Halt the Shipment of Weapons to Israel
As reported by The Guardian, since Friday, the United States has launched numerous airstrikes in Iraq, Syria, and Yemen following the deaths of three American soldiers. Biden, having declared, "if you harm an American, we will respond," has pledged additional attacks on military installations in Iraq, Syria, and Yemen in the days ahead.

The President, having withdrawn the final American troops from Kabul and concluded the 20-year Afghan war, could potentially initiate another conflict in the Middle East, the consequences of which remain uncertain.

Experts warn that sustained US airstrikes in the Middle East could lead to unmanageable escalations in tensions, potentially triggering a region-wide conflict.

America aims for its military power and deterrence to yield results in Yemen and Syria, but Yemen's situation has demonstrated the limitations of such power. Despite Biden's repeated assertions that his attacks on Yemen won't yield results, he has overlooked a straightforward solution: halting military support to the Zionist regime.

To mitigate escalating tensions, which Biden has acknowledged as a concern, he has ignored the straightforward approach of ceasing military aid to the Israeli regime and urging an end to the Gaza Strip attacks.

In late November, as Israel and Hamas brokered a one-week ceasefire for prisoner exchange, Yemeni military attacks on US forces and merchant ships in the Red Sea halted.

The Guardian reports that Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of the Zionist regime, is steadfast in prolonging the war to obstruct investigations into his government's corruption. The Gaza conflict could automatically cease if the US refrains from sending bombs to Israel, but Biden has yet to leverage this straightforward tactic to force Netanyahu to accept ceasefire.

Furthermore, when Republicans abstained from providing additional assistance to the Israeli regime, Biden resorted to utilizing the nation's emergency legislation to dispatch tens of thousands of bullets, shells, and various munitions to the Zionist regime.

Recent disclosures in Israeli media outlets have indicated that shortages of munitions in Western nations due to the Ukraine conflict have also impacted the Zionist state. According to Israeli reports, the United States has dispatched more than 25,000 tons of weaponry through 40 ships and 280 aircraft to occupied territories from October until now.

After all the evidence conducted against the Zionist regime for committing war crimes and genocide in the Gaza conflict, it should be more than clear that the Zionist regime of Israel accompanied by the United States and its allies are responsible for the fatalities of the oppressed Palestinian people.
