According to former US ambassador to Israel Daniel Kurtzer, the United States is struggling to engage effectively with Israel's far-right government. This weakness has become evident, particularly during the ongoing conflict in Gaza, where US diplomacy appears unable to stem the violence or address the complex issues at play in the region. Kurtzer expresses concern that without a significant shift in US policy, the cycle of violence and instability in the Middle East is likely to continue.
Kurtzer emphasizes that the U.S. has not been effective in promoting peace or stability, largely because of Israel's expansion of illegal settlements and its refusal to acknowledge Palestinian rights. He argues that by sidelining key issues like Palestinian self-determination, the U.S. is failing not just the parties involved, but also its own strategic interests in the region. The ambassador warns that this current trajectory is unsustainable and will lead to further conflict.
