In the Gaza War, the war against Iran, and now during the ceasefire, it increasingly appears that Israel is losing its freedom to maneuver, as Washington takes the wheel. Alongside diplomatic backing, here are four points showing how Israel seems to have become America's 51st state.
Part of this is obvious. Right now, Israel has three allies left that it can rely on - the US, Germany and Argentina. Germany wavers from time to time. Only the US can ensure Israel has the arms it needs and to shield it at the UNSC. Only the US can threaten Israel's enemies with real consequences. As a result, it's no surprise the US is acting this way. As they used to describe Biden's personal philosophy, he saw the US as Israel's big brother. The big brother protects the little brother but also teaches him proper behaviour and guides his actions.
