Since the US said it would work with India and Israel on the IMEC, China’s Belt and Road project may run at the same time as Hamas’ Al-Aqsa Flood operation. This shows how complicated the link is between world goals and problems in the Middle East.
According to Modern Diplomacy article, the Al-Aqsa Flood Operation, which was planned by Hamas in response to the Indo-European Corridor Project, which brings together the US, India, and Israel, is seen as helping China’s fight against the Belt and Road Initiative and the Suez Canal. People in China see the US plan as a threat because it wants to build a different economic route that includes Israel. This is what the plan is meant to do. One of the things that is thought to have messed up this plan is the Al-Aqsa Flood Operation, which is meant to cause trouble in the area, especially in Israel. In order to block the Indo-European Corridor and increase their power in the Middle East, both China and Russia have decided to back the operation. Both countries made this choice after realizing that the plan poses a threat to their own interests. Major countries are still competing for power and impact in the region, and this can be seen in the strategic moves that are happening right now.
