In the article, it talks about how JD Vance was in Israel, where he said that the United States is a partner in helping to support the fragile Gaza cease-fire, rather than a \u201cdictator\u201d or someone who will be determining the terms of the cease-fire. Vance made his comment standing next to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and rejected claims that Israel has become a \u201cprotectorate\u201d of the United States. Netanyahu also expressed similar sentiments about the relationship, while acknowledging there are areas of disagreement. Issues such as the international security force in Gaza that Israel believes would limit its abilities to use the military, and disagreements regarding the release of hostages and humanitarian aid to Gaza are among them. Additionally, the International Court of Justice has ruled that Israel must allow UNRWA to deliver aid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The article examines the dynamic between the degree of influence of the United States over Israel, and the extent to which the United States respects Israel sovereignty. The United States is seeking to maintain the fragile cease-fire, while at the same time preventing perceptions that it is exerting too much influence. Historically, the relationship between the United States and Israel have been characterized by periods of intense cooperation, and other times of heightened tensions. The current situation reflects aspects of both. Trust is needed for the cease-fire to succeed; However, a continued existence of unresolved issues such as the status of hostages, in the governing structure of Gaza oppose threats to the long-term viability of the cease-fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to continuing to mediate between the parties involved, the United States should ensure that humanitarian aid reaches Gaza. Israel may build some credibility by working cooperatively with international humanitarian organizations, and providing clarity regarding its position on the international security force. Hamas must also demonstrate its commitment to the cease-fire by ceasing its rocket attack attacks and releasing its hostages. Regional actors, including Egypt in Qatar, can assist in facilitating discussions between the parties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The above example relates to class teachings about state sovereignty, alliances, and international mediation. The relationship between realism (the need for Israel to preserve its independence in national security), and liberalism, (as represented through US led multilateralism) is illustrated in the current crisis in Gaza. The fragile nature of the cease-fire is illustrative of \u201cnegative peace,\u201d in which violence temporarily subsides, but the underlying structural and political conflict remain unresolved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
