La Excellence IAS Academy | April 3, 2024 | International Relations



Syllabus: GS- II, Subject: International Relations, Topic: Global Issues, Issue: USA’s response to the Israel’s Gaza war

Context: UNSC resolution for ceasefire in Gaza adopted.

USA’s response to the Israel’s Gaza war:

  • Historically, the U.S. has supported Israel’s military actions in Palestine.
  • It took five and a half months for the USA to allow a UNSC resolution for a ceasefire.
  • Despite the resolution, the USA is not enforcing it, tarnishing its global image.
  • The USA continues to support Israel despite criticism, unlike past presidents who applied pressure.

Conclusion:

  • The US administration must demand an immediate ceasefire, boost aid to Gaza, and stop arms sales to Israel if the conflict continues.
