Biden Backs Israel; Jordan Cancels Summit; Global South Turns Against West; Kinzhal vs. ATACMS (Alexander Mercouris)




The video opens with discussion about the destruction of the Gaza hospital. Alexander makes no definitive judgement on who was responsible although there is doubt a rocket from Gaza could have caused the damage. He points out the inept diplomatic moves by the West including Biden's Israel visit. The rest of the world is not going along with Western policies in regard to the Middle East and other issues. It seems that Western policies are backfiring so that the opposite of what they are trying to achieve happens (at least on the face of it). If the idea is to weaken the West they are well on the way to achieving this goal. The Gaza situation is also destroying any support the West had in fighting against Russian in Ukraine. 

China and Russia want a two State solution for the Palestinians, which is something the Israelis don't want. The Government of Israel will ramp up fighting first, or block this move via Western support, rather than agree to it.
