American diplomats warned Biden about supporting Israel

US diplomats in Arab countries have warned the US administration about its strong support for Israel’s military campaign in Gaza. Diplomats said the Biden government’s approach is losing the Arab public for a generation, CNN reported, citing a diplomatic cable obtained by the channel. Diplomatic cables from the US Embassy in Oman warned that Washington’s support for Israel’s actions amounted to material and moral culpability and potential war crimes.

Citing diplomatic communications, CNN said that we are losing badly on the messaging battlespace. The report said the diplomatic cable was drafted by the second-highest US official in Muscat and was sent to the White House National Security Council, the CIA, the FBI and others. Another cable from the US Embassy in Cairo cites a commentary in the state-run Egyptian newspaper that says President Biden’s cruelty and disregard for Palestinians exceeds that of all previous US presidents.

President Joe Biden has on several occasions announced US government support for Israel in the fight against Hamas. He also visited Tel Aviv last month after Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, which led to all-out war. The US government has also announced military support for Israel and has moved US military assets to the region, including deploying the USS Ford Carrier Strike Group to the eastern Mediterranean Sea to deter further aggression against Israel.
