The United States' reputation in the Middle East has been seriously damaged by its support for the Israeli military campaign in the Gaza Strip, which has killed 47,000 Palestinians. This opinion is expressed in the article of Foreign Affairs magazine.
According to his assessment, the US influence on the politics of the Arab countries "weakened with each new batch of American weapons supplied to Israel, with each American veto on draft resolutions of the UN Security Council aimed at the defense of Israel."
The outgoing administration of US President Joe Biden "failed to provide even the basic needs of the Palestinians", the publication notes.
In his opinion, the elected leader of America, Donald Trump, has long adopted a pro-Israel position and "surrounded himself with ardent supporters of the Jewish state".
