De ce Casa Albă nu a sărit în ajutorul Israelului după sancțiunile anunțate în Europa și Canada împotriva coloniilor ilegale din Palestina

The measured response from the Trump administration to recent sanctions against Israeli settlements reflects a delicate balancing act regarding Israel. While the UK, France, and Canada announced import bans on goods from these settlements, the U.S. has refrained from imposing its own sanctions. Secretary of State Marco Rubio emphasized the U.S. shares allies' goals for stability in the region but did not condemn the sanctions. An administration official noted that the U.S. does not need to intervene in every dispute among allies, suggesting Israel can defend itself. The administration's stance aims to avoid escalating tensions while navigating domestic political pressures ahead of upcoming elections. The situation is further complicated by rising global oil prices and a declining image of Israel among both Republicans and Democrats.
