DISINFO: Collective West only wants a ceasefire in Lebanon to liquidate the Gaza issue
SUMMARY
The US who is running this battle is trying to manoeuvre, deceive, and make sweet talk and, at the same time, sends Israel $8.7 billion in military aid. This is how the US acts in the Middle East, in Ukraine, in East Asia, and everywhere. Now, the collective West, including France, the US, and Germany, is about to submit a draft resolution to the Security Council calling on Lebanon and Israel to cease fire in order to separate the fronts. The goal of this is to separate the paths of the war in Lebanon and Gaza, and to move to liquidate the issue in the Gaza Strip. But this matter cannot pass, because any settlement must include a ceasefire in Gaza before Lebanon.
RESPONSE
Disinformation about Western countries and the conflicts in the Middle East. The claim that ‘the West’ is trying to avoid calls for a ceasefire in Gaza or ‘separate the paths’ of ceasefire in Gaza and Lebanon ignores the fact that the US and European countries have consistently supported ceasefire efforts on both fronts through diplomacy and UN resolutions.
In his blog post of 18 October 2024 entitled, It is time to give peace a chance, HVVP Josep Borrell stated:
"The death of Yahya Sinwar should mark a turning point at a moment when a new cycle of violence is engulfing the entire Middle East. Europe has a responsibility - and interest - in helping make ceasefires in Gaza and Lebanon and the release of hostages possible. We must also help Palestinians and Israelis move from mutual rejection to mutual recognition and assist the Lebanese in rebuilding their state".
As early as December 2023, France called for an immediate and durable ceasefire in Gaza. President Macron also did not "separate the paths" of Gaza and Lebanon and called for an embargo on arms exports used in Gaza and Lebanon to encourage a de-escalation of the conflict. "We have reiterated the need for a ceasefire, and this ceasefire is essential both in Gaza and in Lebanon. It is necessary now both for our hostages and the civilian population who are victims of the violence, and to avoid regional contamination," he said.
Germany and Britain also called for a ceasefire and an end to the conflict in Gaza. The European Union has also repeatedly called for a ceasefire in Gaza, and when the conflict expanded to Lebanon, it has extended its calls for de-escalation to Lebanon as well.
After reiterating her call for a ceasefire in Gaza, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said: "One year on, the humanitarian situation in Gaza is appalling. The European Union will keep doing its utmost to mobilise financial assistance and facilitate deliveries and distribution of humanitarian aid, to the Palestinian people, and now also in Lebanon."
Finally, the US, working with Qatar and Egypt, has developed a full-fledged ceasefire agreement to end the conflict in Gaza. It has also been working on brokering a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah.
