According to information obtained by CNN, US diplomats working in the Middle East have reported that the Biden administration's support for Israel during the attacks in Gaza has sparked anger among the Arab population towards the US.
In a telegraph sent from the US Embassy in Oman, it was highlighted that meetings with credible sources revealed, "We are facing significant challenges in the realm of communication."
The telegraph emphasized that despite efforts made by diplomats to explain and justify their stance on Israel, it was perceived as "material and moral support for potential war crimes" within the region.
This perception further fueled resentment towards American policies. Another airmail from the US Embassy in Cairo raised concerns over an Egyptian newspaper article titled "Biden's ruthlessness and indifference towards Palestinians surpasses all other US presidents."
The article not only criticized President Biden but also amplified negative sentiments towards America's role in addressing conflicts involving Palestine. Furthermore, a leaked statement from critical diplomats at the State Department suggested that some government officials believe Washington's pro-Israel stance contributes to widespread perceptions of bias and untrustworthiness on the part of the United States.
According to a Politico report on November 8, based on a statement written by diplomats critical of the Washington administration and purportedly leaked from the US State Department, some US diplomats expressed that the government's pro-Israel stance "contributes to the perception that the US is a biased and untrustworthy actor."
