US diplomats in Arab countries warn President Joe Biden about the growing hatred towards the US in Arab countries.
President Joe Biden’s administration received a dire warning from US ambassadors to Arab countries that its strong support for Israel’s brutal military campaign in the Gaza Strip would cause Arab societies to hate the United States “for an entire generation,” diplomats said cables revealed by CNN. .
A warning to Biden
The messages expressed deep concern about growing anger against the United States that erupted shortly after Israel launched operations against Hamas. Let us not forget that the Israeli offensive is a response to the group’s attack on Israel, which took place on October 7 and resulted in the deaths of more than 1,400 Israelis.
“We are seriously losing on the information battlefield,” we read in a cable from the American embassy in Oman on Wednesday. Strong American support for Israel’s actions is, as the cable warns, seen as “material and moral culpability for what [Arabowie – przyp. red.] they consider war crimes.”
The embassy telegram was written by the second highest American official in Muscat and sent, among others, to: the National Security Council of the White House, the CIA and the FBI. Another cable, obtained by CNN from the US embassy in Cairo, relayed to Washington a commentary in a state-run Egyptian newspaper that said President Biden’s “cruelty and contempt for the Palestinians exceeds any cruelty and contempt of previous US has surpassed presidents.”

President Joe Biden is under increasing pressure at home and abroad over US support for Israel amid a dire humanitarian crisis in the region. U.S. officials are working to increase aid reaching Gaza and are calling for a pause in shooting so more aid can flow in and civilians have a chance to escape the fighting.
In recent days, US allies in the Arab world have made clear their deep anger over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
Last weekend, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken attended a summit convened by Jordan’s foreign minister and attended by top diplomats from Egypt, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, as well as the secretary general of the Palestine Liberation Organization .
At the summit, Arab leaders called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, while Blinken echoed US opposition, arguing it would give Hamas time to regroup and launch a new attack on Israel.
