The outcome of the US election in November this year will not only change the direction of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, but will also have a profound impact on this round of Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

According to a report by Global Times, on the 20th, the Israel Defense Forces announced that Israeli warplanes launched an airstrike on the oil depot in Hodeidah, which is controlled by the Houthi armed forces in Yemen.The operation was in response to "hundreds of attacks" carried out by the group on Israel in recent months.

According to statistics from Yemen's local health department, the air strikes have killed three people and injured more than 80 people.This is the first time Israel has carried out air strikes on Yemen since the outbreak of the current round of Israeli-Palestinian conflict.The Houthi armed forces and Iran subsequently issued a statement condemning Israel's "brutal aggression" against Yemen and warning that Israel's "dangerous adventurism" could trigger more intense regional conflicts.

Several coordinates of the air raid

The straight-line distance between Israel and Yemen is about 2,000 kilometers.Therefore, the Israeli military named this airstrike "Operation Long Arm".The Israeli Air Force dispatched several aerial refueling aircraft to support the air strikes.fighterAfterwards, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu publicly declared thatThe airstrike shows that Israel's "long arm" can reach anywhere.

The US website "Dynamics" believes that if the Israeli fighter jets fly along the most direct international airspace route,The strike will be the longest-distance raid by the Israeli Air Force since Operation Wooden Leg in 1985, and will also mark the end of Israel's patience with the Houthis.

In fact, Israel's recent words and deeds on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the Red Sea crisis haveInstead of agreeing to a ceasefire but wrangling over negotiation terms, they began to become increasingly tough.especiallyOn the 13th, the Israeli army once again launched an airstrike on a refugee camp in Gaza, killing 71 people and injuring nearly 300.This has sparked strong condemnation from the international community.

But even now that the European Union has begun to criticize Israel for rejecting the "two-state solution" and the United Nations has laid out the accusation of "deliberate genocide", Israel still turns a deaf ear.Not only did it fail to resume negotiations with Hamas, but it even felt that the crisis in the Middle East was not dangerous enough and began to sharpen its knives against Lebanon.

Israel has suddenly become arrogant, and naturally it has the confidence to do so.If anyone has observed the timeline of the recent Israeli-Palestinian conflict,It should not be difficult to find that the turning point when Israel's attitude became tough again was just after the end of the first presidential debate in the US election.

Regarding Biden’s disastrous performance at the time,Of course, the feelings of the various parties with different demands are different:Biden has undoubtedly disappointed the Democratic Party and Ukrainian President Zelensky, but in Tel Aviv's eyes,Biden's resignation and Trump's inauguration are signals that Israel can continue to act arrogantly in the Middle East.

As right-wing politicians, Trump and Netanyahu certainly have something in common

As early as several months ago, the British Guardian and other media pointed out that Trump often talked about how he would resolve the Russia-Ukraine conflict.But they remain silent on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which is a more serious humanitarian crisis.Trump’s harshest condemnation of Israel’s brutality so far has been a warning that it is “losing the international public relations battle.”

Swiss media Neue Zürcher Zeitung believes that although Trump has shown signs of breaking with Netanyahu because of his congratulations to Biden on his victory,But at this critical moment when Israel is in urgent need of support from the "international community", most Israeli right-wing politicians and Zionists would rather Trump return.They believe that Trump, who holds a "pro-Israel" stance, will not recognize the establishment of a Palestinian state, and that the Republican-led Congress will also reduce US support for Palestinian national rights.

Trump recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital

The report said that compared to Trump, who sticks to one path until the end, Biden does not have so much flexibility.He needs to take into account the demands of the Jewish lobbying groups, while not giving up the voices of the Democratic left and minority voters.But it turns out that the "tightrope walking" has left Biden with nothing, and currently only 7% of Arab voters are willing to vote for him.

so,Even if Trump has not formulated any vision for peace in Gaza, this disguised silence is the greatest indulgence for Israel.It is foreseeable that after Trump returns to the White House, if no more "black swan" events occur, the hope for peace between Palestine and Israel will become even slimmer.
