Bethlehem - Maan Report - US President Joe Biden begins a short, emergency and urgent visit to the Middle East region, according to what was published on his platform (X) yesterday: “In solidarity with Israel against Hamas,” the visit will continue from 10-2 p.m. Wednesday, and from Then he will head to Jordan to hold a four-way summit between Jordan, Egypt, Palestine and America, as announced by the Jordanian Royal Court.

Since the beginning of the war on the 7th of this month, Washington has sent its Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken, to Israel and the Arab countries, as well as the US Secretary of Defense, in addition to the Commander of the Military Forces. As an expression of its support for Israel politically, militarily and financially.

On the military level, America sent an air bridge of urgent military aid worth $8 billion, which began arriving in Israel on the third day of the war. It also sent two aircraft carriers to the eastern Mediterranean, in addition to escort ships.

She said that these military reinforcements are to deter any country, organization, or individual who wishes to exploit the existing circumstances to attack Israel, and America instructed the Delta unit, which specializes in liberating hostages of the American army, to head to Israel, as well as what Israel published that 2,000 Marines would support Israel in its ground entry into the sector. Gaza against Hamas fighters. In addition to the intelligence support that was placed at Israel's disposal.

On the political level, the US Secretary of State presented and participated, for the first time in Israeli history, with a foreign official in the meetings of what is known as the government’s mini-cabinet, which was called the “War Council.” He also went to Jordan and met with the Palestinian President in a meeting that was described as carrying a threatening message to the Palestinian side. He also met with the Jordanian side before heading to Qatar, the Emirates, then Saudi Arabia and Egypt.

During his visit, Blinken sought to enlist support for the US-Israeli plan to transfer Palestinians from Gaza to Sinai, Jordan and other Arab countries and to pressure these countries to force Hamas to release Israeli prisoners.

The reactions of the Arab countries were shocking with their absolute rejection of the deportation process, which was evident in President Sisi’s speech to Blinken, where he described this as national security for Egypt and linked Egypt to opening the Rafah crossing for the departure of nationals of the countries by first allowing the entry of humanitarian aid from the Rafah crossing, describing what is happening in the Gaza Strip as bypassing the defense. For the soul.

In turn, Saudi Arabia sent an objection letter to Blinken after he scheduled the meeting with the Crown Prince, which was scheduled for the night, for the next day. Then it issued a statement in which it demanded an end to the massacres.

Jordan's position was no less than that. Jordan considered the issue of displacement a red line and would not accept it under any circumstances.

America announced that it had opened a line through Qatar to try to release some of the Israeli prisoners, whose number is estimated at 250, especially women, children and the elderly.

The United Arab Emirates, which issued a statement condemning the Hamas attacks, quickly sent $20 million in aid to the people of Gaza, followed by a phone call from Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed to Netanyahu in an attempt, as an Emirati statement said, to reduce pressure on the civilian population, while Israel announced that it had informed the Emirates of its intention to continue operations. Until the elimination of Hamas.

Blinken, who began to back down a little in his statements at the beginning of the war, which were absolutely supportive of Israel, by adding some terms of a humanitarian nature to the residents of the Gaza Strip and the ethics of war, as he described it.

Britain, France, Germany, and Italy participate in its declared alliance in support of Israel, and they are the group of countries whose presidents Biden called at the beginning of the war.

Britain sent two warships to the region and its government issued decisions that prevented many activities in support of Palestine in Britain and even prevented the raising of the Palestinian flag. France banned and dispersed the demonstrations, and its government announced the imprisonment of everyone who stands in solidarity with Palestine for a period of five years. As for Germany, which sent two drones to participate in the bombing of Gaza, stopped supporting Palestine, and also banned demonstrations.

In this context, Israel announced today its request for $10 billion from America to help support the Israeli economy.
