Whenever Netanyahu adds fuel to the already burning fire in the Middle East, US Secretary of State Blinken intervenes, either by making phone calls to influential figures involved in the conflict or through personal visits to the areas of ignition. Now, after the most dangerous escalation since the beginning of the war, he is once again calling for efforts to contain the situation, as if what happened is just a passing matter, surrounded by statements, parades, and mediations.
Blinken knows that trying to hold opposing sides together as he does will only result in increased tensions and the expansion of the conflict, highlighting America's inability to make even slight progress towards a temporary truce, making it impossible to risk ending the war.
Mr Blinken, if he truly wants to achieve success for himself and his superior state, must first study the situation and carefully plan his actions on the battlefield. He needs to answer a crucial question: Why do things become more inflamed and politically complicated every time he or American envoys of his level arrive in the region?
He doesn't need research institutions to help him find the answer; he knows it well but ignores it so that the cycle of war continues to engulf the region in flames, and the spiral of mediation sinks into failure.
Blinken knows and ignores the reality. The encouragement Netanyahu receives from the repeated American phrase "Israel's right to defend itself," supported by the unchecked flow of money, weapons, and ammunition to the Israeli war machine, only adds fuel to the fire. The events of the past ten months prove this. The fire truck led by Blinken either arrives after the fire has spread or, if it arrives during the fire, it is without water.
