Washington will defend its old friend. President Obama has made crystal
clear that Israel’s operations in Gaza have his full support. Hillary
Clinton, the US secretary of state, is expected to travel to the region
on Tuesday. Yet, the US is not the power looking to become more active
in the Middle East in years to come. That country is China, a
still-emerging power that has no cultural and ideological ties with
Israel to protect as it looks to ensure the steady long-term flow of
crude oil.
