"Examining the Impact of U.S. Response to Israel War in the Middle East"

President Biden's trip to Israel in the midst of the Israel-Hamas war is being seen negatively in the Middle East, as he showed empathy for Israeli civilians but not for Palestinians. The Arab world questions whether the United States can be trusted as a broker between Israelis and Palestinians. The ongoing conflict raises concerns about a potential mass transfer of Palestinians from Gaza to Egypt and from the West Bank to Jordan. The need for a political solution to address the root cause of the conflict, which is the occupation, is emphasized. Efforts for a two-state solution have been hindered by rejectionists, but there is hope for a post-Hamas Gaza that focuses on reconstruction and cooperation between Israelis and Palestinians.
