When in 1947 the United Nations proposed the establishment of a state for the Jews, all the countries of the Arabian Peninsula and, in general, Muslim nations opposed the creation of this state. However, in contrast, the United States, Europe, and many other non-Muslim countries considered its establishment important and implemented the decision, and in 1948 this regime declared independence.
The objective of the United Nations in supporting this regime was to bring the natural resources and authority of the Arab countries under its control. Another aim was to prevent the re-emergence of a caliphate like the Ottoman Caliphate and the revival of Muslim power in Arab and Turkish lands. As a result, many Arab countries came under external influence and control, and in the Middle East and other regions, various movements and systems were weakened or dismantled.
The calculations of the past have been reversed. The world had assumed that Israel would always remain a power against Muslims, Iran, Russia, China, and Turkey, and that it would continue to enjoy the support of the United States and Britain. For years, the United States provided Israel with billions of dollars, but the current tensions with Iran have turned Israel into a source of concern, renewed conflict, and a factor that undermines the interests of the United States, Britain, and generally European countries.
Wars in the region are to Israel, as their nature is described in a way that considers destruction, harm, and hostility toward Muslims and others as a core duty. For this reason, they have turned migration into a state. They also sought to gain control over the Red Sea and other transit routes, but this decision, which was intended to harm Iran, ultimately resulted in consequences that also affected them.
Why does the United States support it?
The existence and strength of the Israeli regime play an important role for the United States in maintaining its influence over Arab countries, Iran, and other states in the region. If Israel were not present in the region, the United States and other non-Muslim countries would risk losing parts of their influence in Asia and parts of Europe.
It is also argued that for Britain and other countries, it would remove the justification for countering extremist groups, and could weaken the broader influence that the United States holds over natural resources in Arab and Asian regions.
The final outcome is that the Israeli regime has become, a source of economic crises, increased migration, and rising violence. However, these problems are not solely to Israel, but also to the United Nations and the countries that supported the establishment of this regime, as they are seen as having contributed to bringing conflict into the Middle East and Asia and fueling cycles of violence.
