Al Jazeera’s senior political analyst, Marwan Bishara, highlights the shift in tone from the US ambassador, noting that while American diplomats have historically balanced their support for Israel with occasional reservations, this latest statement goes further. He emphasizes that it feels more like a reprimand, especially when addressing the “so-called policy of starvation.” Bishara suggests that this change is significant, not just in rhetoric, but because it reflects the stark reality on the ground.
