U.S. Democratic Congressman Don Beyer wrote today (April 9 Beijing time): "The United States must immediately make clear to Israel that without a ceasefire in Lebanon, any ceasefire agreement will be ineffective. The American people want this war to end, and bombing Beirut's city center is not the path to peace."
[Witty] Commenting briefly: Israel is the biggest obstacle. Today, Netanyahu launched one of the largest offensives against Lebanon in recent times, openly tearing apart the fragile regional peace framework. The explosions in downtown Beirut have dealt a heavy blow to all diplomatic mediators. Netanyahu’s reckless military adventurism is essentially an attempt to hijack domestic politics through war, consolidating his own power by manufacturing conflict—completely disregarding the safety of regional civilians and the international community’s call for peace. The Democratic congressman’s appeal may sound righteous, but it actually exposes America’s diplomatic divisions: on one hand, calling for a ceasefire, while on the other, continuously supplying weapons to Israel. This inconsistency is not only a mockery of peace efforts, but also the root cause of ongoing conflict.
