China better mediator in Middle East: Expert
China DailyPeople search for survivors after an Israeli airstrike hit a school sheltering displaced Palestinians, in the Al-Rimal neighborhood, Gaza Strip, on Tuesday. "The Chinese government talks to everybody in the region," said Jack Midgley, principal of the global consultancy Midgley & Co and an adjunct associate professor in the Security Studies Program at Georgetown University. "The move of the USS Georgia into central command is the clearest possible signal that the US will defend Israel with nuclear weapons if necessary," he said, pointing out that the Pentagon's announcement was a public signal that the firepower could be used to defend Israel and also "a very powerful deterrent signal to the Iranians". Since October, the US position "has moved toward unconditional support for Israel and away from a more balanced position" that it took in the past, Midgley said. However, since the recent escalation of the conflict in Gaza, "there is no discussion about any topic really by the US other than how much military support Israel needs", Midgley said.
