Criticism of US Policy and Potential Impact on Hamas and Iran

There is a debate regarding the US policy of releasing funds to Iran and its potential impact on encouraging aggression. Critics argue that the released money could be used for purposes beyond humanitarian needs and may provide Iran with greater resources. However, the focus should not solely be on the funds, but rather on whether the policy aligns with American national interests. Regarding the conflict with Hamas, it remains uncertain if it will lead to a broader escalation and impact the ongoing normalization efforts between Israel and other Middle Eastern countries. While it is desirable to see relations normalize, the recent attacks could temporarily challenge the process and alter domestic politics in those countries. Predicting the outcome in the Middle East is challenging, but it is important to condemn the targeting of innocent civilians and hold Hamas accountable in the aftermath of such attacks.
