China News Service, February 23 (Xinhua) Comprehensive report: The United States recently once again vetoed the Security Council's draft resolution on the Gaza conflict and rejected the international community's request for an immediate ceasefire, triggering a lot of criticism from the outside world.

Foreign media believe that the United States' "inaction" on the Gaza issue runs counter to the world's efforts to promote a peaceful resolution of the Gaza conflict and has forced itself into a dangerous and isolated situation.

At the same time, it has also caused the outside world to question whether the United States, as a superpower, has fulfilled its due responsibilities.

“Superpower inaction”

Has the American “magic wand” failed?

　　The United States has repeatedly used its veto power on the Gaza ceasefire issue, which is seen by the outside world as ignoring the worsening humanitarian tragedy in the region.

The UAE's "National" bluntly commented that Washington's refusal to call for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza "is weakening the credibility of the United States on the global stage."

　　"The National" also pointed out that the United States' refusal to put pressure on Israel to stop the war in Gaza feels increasingly like "abandoning responsibility."

The United States clearly remains a powerful force in this era, but its failure to call for a ceasefire is "shocking."

　　In fact, the United States has a "stubborn position" on the Gaza issue. Although Biden said that Israel's actions in Gaza were "excessive," his "unwavering" support for Israel has never changed.

　　The South China Morning Post also believes that today, the United States remains an "indispensable" supporter of Israel's military operations in Gaza, but has chosen to "turn a blind eye" to the huge humanitarian disaster.

　　The newspaper analyzed that the United States’ increasingly obvious double standards are weakening its credibility and influence.

　　According to the US "Time" magazine, US State Department spokesman Miller said at a recent press conference: "What I want to say is, I think sometimes people pretend that the United States has a magic wand that can direct any situation in the world and make it happen." Every situation in the world goes exactly the way we want it to go, but it doesn’t.”

　　As soon as the "magic wand" remark came out, it was immediately refuted by reporters.

Some reporters asked the United States a soul-searching question: If billions of dollars in military aid is not a "magic wand," then what is?

“Everything is America’s fault”

falling into danger of isolation

　　"Everything that happened there is the fault of the United States." Medvedev, deputy chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, commented when talking about the current deterioration of the situation in the Middle East.

　　The Russian Satellite News Agency quoted Medvedev as saying that the control of crisis mediation in this region lies largely in the hands of the United States.

"How much autonomy can the Israeli government have in making decisions? They rely heavily on U.S. financial and military aid and certainly cannot be autonomous."

　　Recently, the United States has been facing increasing criticism at home and abroad for its support for Israel.

The New York Times published an article stating that the strong response from the international community highlighted the isolation of the United States in its strong support for Israel.

　　The Washington Post reported that at the two-day G20 foreign ministers’ meeting held in Brazil on the 21st, the United States’ stance against an immediate ceasefire in Gaza was repeatedly criticized. This is another sign that the United States has been isolated on this issue. One proof.

　　At the beginning of the meeting, Brazilian Foreign Minister Vieira denounced the United States for "this state of inaction that has resulted in the loss of innocent lives" and criticized the United States for providing Israel with political cover and billions of dollars worth of bombs and military equipment.

　　The Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft in the United States quoted expert analysis as saying, "The United States refuses to use its influence to stop Israel's massacre of civilians in Gaza, and the damage caused may even be worse than the Iraq War. At the same time, some government officials have warned "This war will intensify terrorism."

　　In the early days of the current round of Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the director of the FBI told the U.S. Congress that “many foreign terrorist organizations have called for attacks on Americans and Western countries.” “The ongoing war in the Middle East has caused Americans in the United States to suffer The threat of attack has risen to a new level."
