Biden Went to the Middle East to Solve US Economic Problems, Not Bring Peace, Expert Says_我的网站

一 |     北京时间8月13日，曾在NBA征战18个赛季、效力过7支球队的9届全明星球员威少，在社交媒体上发布一段长达3分25秒的视频，正式宣布从NBA中退役，配文“有时候你甚至不知道自己已经看完了结尾。    When describing his Middle East trip goals in a Washington Post op-ed, US President Joe Biden said he was embarking on a journey to conduct diplomacy and work in order to normalize relations between Israel and the Arab world, particularly by making sure that the Israeli-Palestinian peace process continues.,However, many critics begged to differ, mainly because of the background behind his first presidential trip to the Middle East. Biden's trip came amid severe economic hardships at home, which a handful of other Western countries are facing as well. With energy prices soaring, one of the main objectives of the US president was to persuade Saudi Arabia to boost oil production in the hopes of curbing prices.,It brought little results, as Riyadh made it clear it could only boost production from 10 to 13 million barrels per day and no more. On top of that, it created an impression among some observers that Biden, in fact, only came to Middle East because he was compelled to sort out US economic grievances, rather than to promote peace and prosperity.,With respect to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Biden and the Saudi Arabian leadership reaffirmed their commitment to a two-state solution "along the 1967 lines". However, the US president asserted that the "ground is not ripe" to restart the talks between the two sides, and neither he demanded a settlement freeze from Israeli PM Yair Lapid when the two met in Jerusalem.,As put by Waleed al-Modallal, professor of political science at Gaza’s Islamic University, it's nothing but "repeated slogans" that are not in fact aimed at resolving the long-standing issue.,"I don't think the American side will practice any sort of pressure on the Israeli side, and everybody knows that," Al-Modallal says. "I think this visit is not to refresh the negotiations between Palestinians and Israelis. [...] It comes to solve the economic problem of Americans. That's all.",The professor pointed out that in reality, there is no political will in Israel to go back to the two-state solution negotiations. Moreover, he continued, there is "no chance" for such a solution, as the majority of the land that the Palestinians consider theirs is occupied by Israeli settlers.,The words of Palestinian President Mahmood Abbas about how this might have been one of "the last chances" for a two-state solution, are essentially a mantra that he has been repeating for a long time, Al-Modallal argues.,"It's repeated words from the American president and from the Palestinian president as well," he says, saying that the so-called "regional solution" is being shifted to the responsibility of Arabs, "and Israel would not pay any price regarding the land, regarding the Palestinians' protection or any other things.",Despite the US' declared position on Palestinians and funds that are coming from Washington to support them, the Biden administration still fails to "touch the core of the issue", which is "political, not economic or humanitarian," Al-Modallal explains.,"It's the easiest solution for Americans to give such gifts," he says.,With little hope for Washington to actually do something meaningful regarding the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, it seems that few Palestinians are taking Biden and his visit, particularly his meeting with Abbas, seriously.,"[This] visit comes to support Israelis and the normalization in the region as well as to solve the problem of power, which touches the American and international economy. That's it. It's not to renew or re-enhance Palestinian-Israeli negotiations. We all know that," the professor concludes.。你当时必须在场。现在一切都结束了”。         威少是2008年NBA选秀大会上被超音速以第4顺位选中的球员，随后正式开启职业生涯，先后效力于雷霆、火箭、奇才、湖人、快船、掘金和国王，场均得到20.9分6.9篮板8.0助攻。

二 | 威少保持着NBA历史生涯三双次数最多的纪录（209次）。他自2021年起保持着这一联盟纪录，当时他拿下了职业生涯第182次三双，从而超越了奥斯卡·罗伯特森自1974年以来保持的181次三双的长期纪录。

三 |          威少曾经9次入选最佳阵容，9次入选全明星阵容，并且2次加冕全明星MVP，3次当选联盟助攻王。他的职业生涯的大部分时间（11个赛季）是在雷霆度过的，并于2017年荣膺常规赛MVP。他曾与凯文·杜兰特和詹姆斯·哈登联手，带领雷霆在2012年夺得西部冠军，随后在NBA总决赛中不敌热火。         威斯布鲁克的经纪人杰夫·施瓦茨于早些时候发表声明，谈到了在劳资协议（CBA）引入第一土豪线和第二土豪线规则后，老将（威少）面临的签约难题：“太不可思议了，湖人队的估值高达120亿美元，但各支球队却因为现行的劳资协议规则而不愿在年长球员身上投入资金。谢谢你，球员工会。”          即将年满38岁的威少在25年休赛期无人问津，多年以来首度缺席训练营。尽管海外多支队伍向他发出邀约，但是他仍坚信自己能在NBA打球，于是乎拒绝所有报价。

四 | 到了季前赛，国王为他开出无保障合同，威少就此开启个人第18个赛季，他赛季为国王出场64场常规赛，其中58场首发，场均得到15.2分5.4篮板6.7助攻1.3抢断。         在混乱的国王内部当中，威少逐渐通过赛场自证身价，是队内为数不多的值得信赖的持球点。威少在休赛期一度传出拒绝奔赴海外打球，仍然有继续留在联盟的想法，多次在社交媒体中晒出了自己的训练视频。据名记Shams透露，尽管威少在休赛期收到国王和奇才的邀请，但他最终选择按自己的意愿结束职业生涯。         最后，让我们祝福威少，希望他在退役以后一切顺遂。
