Michael Doran on the Hamas–Israeli Conflict and Communist China’s Ambitions in the Middle East
“When I started to think about what the Middle East looked like from Beijing, the place suddenly looked very different.”
The Chinese Communist Party is seeking to, step by step, dominate the Middle East, says Hudson Institute senior fellow Michael Doran from building ports in strategic locations to expanding its naval presence in the region.
“They’re positioning themselves to be able to threaten the two major chokepoints for energy in the region,” Doran says. And they’re building a strategic alliance with Iran.
'It’s the same cast and crew that fundamentally believe that appeasing Iran was the solution to Middle East stability. I think the world can now see that was folly,' Pompeo said.
The United States “has a deep and consistent interest” in doing its best to “take down this terror this campaign against Israel, the ‘Little Satan’ that ultimately could grow into an Iranian campaign against the ‘Great Satan,’ the United States.”
Biden made no distinction between a democratic ally of the United States and a terrorist organization he did not even name. He spoke as if he did not know that the calm was broken by a terrorist organization and by no one else, and that what prevents Palestinians from having freedom, prosperity and democracy is precisely that they are ruled by terrorists and people who supports terrorism.
On April 7, a US Department of State press statement said that the Biden administration had decided to restore US financial aid to Palestinians , without requiring that American money
not be used for terrorist purposes..
