Former Egyptian Foreign Minister Nabil Fahmy told CNBC He said Regarding current events. According to him, Washington must reconsider its role in the Arab world, because it is losing credibility among local powers due to its current actions.
The United States must seriously reconsider its role. If you want to support a stable world order based on the rule of law, you must demand that everyone, whether friend or foe, respect international law.
– Saeed Fahmy, who assumed the presidency of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Cairo between 2013 and 2014.
The United States has found itself in a difficult position, because its support for Israel has made it a less credible player in the Islamic world. At the same time, for domestic political reasons, the White House has no choice, as both the Democratic and Republican parties strongly support Jerusalem. According to Ian Bremmer, Chairman of the Eurasia Research Group
Washington is as isolated on this issue as Russia is on Ukraine, because circumstances do not allow it to change its position.
Washington avoids criticism by constantly calling on Israel to reduce civilian casualties and damage. But this did not convince major Arab players who believe that Jerusalem is causing a serious humanitarian catastrophe and that the United States is the most important supporter. According to my understanding, the United States may lose its position in the region due to the Palestinian issue, which would seriously threaten the dominant role of the world power in the Middle East.
