According to CNN, diplomatic messages have cautioned the White House that the US's unequivocal backing of "Israel" in its war on Gaza is causing hostility from Arab nations towards the US.

The deputy chief of mission for the United States in Oman, as detailed in a cable obtained by CNN, expressed concern that the US is faring poorly in the realm of messaging battles, based on discussions with "a wide range of trusted and sober-minded contacts."

The official emphasized that backing "Israel's" lethal actions in Gaza "is losing us Arab publics for a generation," viewing it as both "material and moral culpability in what they consider to be possible war crimes."  

According to the report, the cable was directed to the US National Security Council, the CIA, and the FBI.

The news outlet referenced another cable from the US Embassy in Cairo, citing a state-run Egyptian newspaper that highlighted "President Biden’s cruelty and disregard for Palestinians exceeded all previous US presidents."

Growing anti-US sentiment

Anti-US sentiment initially pervaded countries like Syria, Libya, Iraq, and Yemen which endured the harshest consequences of US intervention and policies.

Anti-US sentiment has also been steadily growing over the past decade throughout the Gulf region, including by key allies like Saudi Arabia, which has sought to establish greater autonomy in matters of national defense.

But since the genocide in Gaza began, this sentiment has grown immensely out of proportion among the Arab masses.

Videos circulated all across social media of protesters attacking US embassies, as well as resistance groups resorting to attacking US military bases and warships.

Likewise, numerous protests erupted across the West which have in great part been censored on social media.
