American diplomats in the region warn their administration: We are losing badly as a result of supporting Israel’s war
The administration of US President Joe Biden received stark warnings from American diplomats in the Arab world that its strong support for the destructive and deadly Israeli military campaign in Gaza “will cause the Arab peoples to lose us for an entire generation,” according to a diplomatic cable obtained by CNN, today, Friday.
According to the American network, the cable highlights the deep concern among American officials about the growing anger against the United States, which erupted shortly after Israel launched its operations against the “Hamas” movement, in the wake of the “Al-Aqsa Flood” operation carried out by the “Al-Qassam Brigades,” the wing. The movement's military attack took place on October 7, deep inside Israel, leaving more than 1,400 people dead.
A cable from the US Embassy in the Sultanate of Oman, on Wednesday, said: “We are losing badly on the battlefield of messages,” after conversations with “a wide range of reliable and sober sources.”
The cable warned that strong American support for Israel's actions was seen as "material and moral responsibility for what they consider possible war crimes."
The network indicated that this telegram from the American embassy, written by the second-highest American official in Muscat, and distributed to the National Security Council in the White House, the Central Intelligence Agency, and the FBI, in addition to others, provides a special glimpse of the warning about the growing anti-US wave. United States sweeping the Middle East.
Another cable from the US Embassy in Cairo, sent to Washington, also highlighted a comment made by an Egyptian state-run newspaper, stating that “President Biden’s cruelty and neglect of the Palestinians exceeded all previous American presidents.”
The Israeli war on the Gaza Strip continues for the 35th day in a row, with unlimited American support for the Israeli occupation continuing, despite the martyrdom of nearly 11,000 people, the majority of whom are women and children.
A new opinion poll conducted by the Associated Press-NORC Center for Research, and published on Thursday, showed that about half of Democrats do not agree with Biden’s handling of the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip, which shows a deep division within his party regarding the war.
The poll found that 50 percent of Democrats approve of the way Biden managed the war, while 46 percent oppose it.
Biden's support on the issue among Democrats has fallen slightly from August, when a poll by the center found that 57 percent of Democrats agreed with his handling of the war, while 40 percent disapproved.
The war could complicate Biden's re-election efforts, because he will have to balance factions of his party with very different views on the war and who is responsible for it.
