American Influence in the Middle East Is Evaporating Before Our Eyes

President Biden ’s Achilles heel has been his “bear hug” of Netanyahu , writes Aaron Miller .

Miller : The Biden administration has failed abjectly in its objectives there, leaving the region in dangerous disarray.

The science-fiction-style nature of US policy in the Middle East is starkly revealed when you consider the position of Jordan , which has a peace treaty with Israel , Miller says.

Frida Ghitis : Israel , Jordan talk war; last time two countries fought was in 1973 October War .

She says Turkey , a NATO ally with which the U.S. has mutual defense obligations, is unhappy with Biden 's Mideast policy.

Ghitis says Turkey 's pro- Islam leader has gone beyond angry words, has threatened intervention on behalf of the beleaguered Palestinians .

The only step that can be taken against Israel ’s genocide is the alliance of Muslim countries.

Egypt 's al-Sisi is eager for greater leverage against Netanyahu ’s apparent plan for a forever war in Gaza .

The Gaza campaign has already inflicted substantial damage on Egypt 's economy.

Egypt is also reportedly furious over Netanyahu 's occupation of the Philadelphi Corridor south of the city of Rafah in Gaza and his blithe disregard of Cairo 's prerogatives.
