Strategic analyst Yossi Yehoshua mentioned - in an article published yesterday by the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth - that the arrival of the US aircraft carrier Gerald Ford and the statements of US President Joe Biden and his Secretary of State Anthony Blinken prove the amount of US support for Israel, but it will not come without return.

The writer explained that the Americans are conducting the war on Gaza according to their strategic interests in the region, adding that Biden’s visit to Tel Aviv could put controls on Israel’s movements as part of a broader war on the Iranian axis, which includes - in his opinion - Russia.

This comes at a time when Israeli army officers are demanding entry into Gaza, claiming that it is illogical that there is a time gap between the operation of the Palestinian resistance movement (Hamas) on October 7th and the response to it. The writer added that the recent American moves aim to deter Iran and Hezbollah. The Lebanese government announced the opening of another front in the north, stressing that the US President insists on the safety of the “kidnapped” US citizens, to the point of planning a separate deal in addition to asking Israel to make a humanitarian gesture in Gaza without compensation.

The writer believed that Biden is not concerned with effectively eliminating the Hezbollah threat to the northern regions of Israel, as much as he is concerned with avoiding a “humanitarian catastrophe and violation of international law” in Gaza.

The Israeli writer added that the White House is concerned with the interests of the United States first, then the Israeli soldiers.

He stressed that Israel's attachment to America will increase after Biden's visit to Tel Aviv, especially if the visit leads to a regional summit that would restrict their movement in the war, indicating that it is not known how events will develop after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin, which showed Quiet situation so far.
