Netanyahu Visits US, Gaza Escalates: A Predictable Pattern
Al Jazeera's observation that Netanyahu's meetings with US presidents consistently precede regional escalation is an understatement; it's practically a design feature. Every 'diplomatic' visit from PM Netanyahu seems to trigger a fresh wave of violence, while the US promptly greenlights more military aid. For example, after President Biden met with Netanyahu, the administration quietly approved a
$10 billion arms package to Israel, despite mounting civilian casualties in Gaza. The 'concerned' rhetoric from Washington is consistently followed by material support for further devastation. This isn't just unfortunate timing; it's a predictable cycle facilitated by unwavering US political and financial backing. While the cameras capture solemn handshakes, the real action is the quiet approval
of more weaponry, ensuring the 'escalation' continues. One might wonder if these meetings are about diplomacy, or simply about publicly signaling approval for the next chapter of collective punishment. How many 'last warnings' will Gaza endure before the US stops enabling the next one?
