The Turkish newspaper “Yeni Akit” published a report by writer Ahmed Avarol in which he said that the American administration is seeking to deceive world public opinion regarding the war on Gaza and the invasion of Rafah.
Washington states that Israel has not crossed the red line yet, but at the same time it shows that it is adopting a position against the invasion of Rafah by suspending shipments of some weapons and bombs with the aim of demonstrating its “opposition position” to this operation.
Avarol explained that people speaking on behalf of the Biden administration may see the experts who are following developments as mere “idiots,” highlighting that Biden himself “may not realize that the people who are directing him are the really stupid ones,” as he put it.
According to the writer, the announcement by American officials of halting an arms shipment to Israel that included bombs weighing nearly a ton is an admission that these bombs, which were used in the horrific massacres carried out by the occupation in the Gaza Strip, came from the United States.
Accomplice in genocide
He continued that providing Israel with such bombs means that the United States is not only a partner in providing the military equipment necessary to carry out these massacres, but also agrees to carry them out, which shows that “the United States’ policy towards Gaza makes it a partner in this brutal war and genocide,” he said. Saying it.
Avarol added that suspending this shipment of weapons does not mean that the United States opposes the occupation operations in Rafah, because it has already provided the required quantity of bombs, according to expert estimates.
In addition – the author explains – there may be a possibility of a tactical change in the occupation’s attacks on Rafah, which means that the occupation may need different equipment, and it is assumed that the United States will continue to send such materials in the future.
The writer pointed out that the need for the United States administration to announce the suspension of the shipment of some weapons and bombs to the Israeli occupation currently stems from the possibility of the continuation of angry protests, especially in universities, and the possibility of the scope of reactions expanding further due to the Israeli attacks on Rafah.
tactic
The writer stated that it is clear that Israel had no opportunity to begin a ground operation in Rafah without the approval of the United States.
He continued that the current American administration’s claim that the occupation army has not crossed the red lines yet, and issuing statements confirming its continued support for it, clearly shows its approval of the attack on Rafah.
The writer revealed that both the United States and Israel are following a tactic aimed at misleading world public opinion that the attack only targets the eastern region of Rafah, but at the same time air and sea attacks are being carried out from the west in conjunction with ground attacks from the east to pressure the residents besieged in Rafah to gather them in an area. narrower.
He continued that the goal of controlling the Rafah border crossing is to ensure the success of the policy of starving hundreds of thousands of residents, and to pressure the resistance to accept the occupation’s demands unconditionally.
