US, Israel seen as evil in eyes of the world over Gaza war: Analysis
Rami Khouri, the director of global engagement at the American University of Beirut, said the US and Israel have backed themselves into a corner over the war on Gaza and are now seen “as evil people in the eyes of most of the world”.
“If you look at the polling evidence, demonstrations, the vote at the UN, any measure that you take, almost the entire world - with the exception of one or two smaller countries and the United States - are critical of what Israel is doing, heavily critical,” Khouri told Al Jazeera.
“That is very troubling for the United States,” Khouri said, adding that the US is failing diplomatically in the Middle East.
“It’s very good at creating arms that kill a lot of people and selling them. And letting its allies kill as much as they want. But it’s not very good at diplomacy and sorting out these kinds of issues,” he said of the US.
“There is massive evidence now that ordinary people around the Middle East are extremely disappointed with the US - and you have governments around the Arab region who are looking to balance their previously very strong relations with the US, to have more balanced relations with other powers - regional powers and international powers - like Iran, Turkey, China,” he said.
“There’s a really big danger for the US in the political, economic and military fields, and the Israelis have not achieved their military objectives and Hamas is still holding out,” he added.
