Biden must become a protagonist in the Israeli-Palestinian question

 The requests of the left of the Democratic party, towards the president of the United States, for a different stance towards Israel, represent a novelty at the institutional level, due to the growing importance in the party and to the contribution provided for the election of Biden to the highest office American. They are an institutional novelty due to the large presence of the left in parliament, but they are not a novelty in the US political debate, because a substantial social share of democratic voters has always spoken out against the violence on both sides, but with particular attention to Israel. due to non-compliance with agreements, denial of a two-state solution and violence, which often resulted in civilian casualties. Biden, however, found himself with a situation created by Trump, which had an easy life due to the lack of constraints left by Obama. The previous American president privileged the relationship with Netanyahu, both for personal and political affinity, directing American politics in a totally unbalanced way towards Israel, providing his legitimacy to the settlements of the settlements and recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of the Israeli state. The unresolved crisis of Israel's politics, which must continually resort to elections whose results remain unchanged and do not allow a resolution of the situation, does not help the country, but neither does its allies, where the US remains the main, even after the change at the White House. Netanyahu is an unscrupulous politician and is using the current situation to prevent being evicted by the government and being overwhelmed by an increasingly compromised judicial situation. Biden, already in his intentions during the elections, made the same mistake as Obama: privileging the commitment in Southeast Asia considered more important and strategic, both from a geopolitical and economic point of view, neglecting attention on the situation Middle East and thus making a major error of assessment. The Israeli repression against the Gaza Strip has provoked a greater Iranian financial commitment, which allows the terrorist group to have advanced weapons, as demonstrated in recent days and, above all, the fact that it has come under the influence of Tehran. Israel’s attitude is compacting the Sunni world as a result of Turkish activism: Ankara, while rejoining the Atlantic Alliance, is moving autonomously with purposes often in contrast with Western interests. Europe confirms its own political littleness and its own leaders appear confused and committed to declarations of pragmatic only. The general picture is therefore not the best for the US President, however the situation, precisely because it is so uncertain, forces the first world power to take a clear and not hesitant position: it is a necessary act in front of the international scenario, but also a response to the pressures of a substantial and politically relevant part of his party, which also includes part of the center. In the US, the recognition with Israel of American citizens of the Jewish religion is on the decline and this may foster greater conviction towards an action capable of protecting the rights of both parties and assuming a permanent condemnation of violence that includes civilians. What Biden has lacked so far has been diplomatic action capable of going beyond the usual interlocutors, but capable of involving Hamas as well, which although it is considered a terrorist organization is directly involved in the conflict. The implications of the Israeli-Palestinian affair must remain central to American politics, precisely to prevent situations similar to those experienced in Syria and recently in Turkey, where the American absence has allowed the arrival of new protagonists, capable of changing structures and balances. regional. The action of Iran, Turkey and Russia is contrary to American and Western interests and, in the long run, to Israelis and Palestinians themselves; relaunching the two-state solution, through pressure on Tel Aviv to induce it to abide by the agreements and put an end to the policy of settlements and the lack of respect for Arab citizens of the state of Israel, remains the greatest assurance to defuse Hamas and those who finance it and finally give stability to the region; after all, it is precisely among the Jews of the world that favor towards this solution is growing and if Biden will be able to interpret it, he will be able to write on his curriculum a result never achieved so far that will be the most important factor in foreign policy of his presidential action.
