The Gaza crisis, which erupted following the “Al-Aqsa Storm” operation on October 7, 2023, has become one of the most intricate crises in the history of international relations. This crisis, marked by ongoing violence, infrastructure devastation, and what many view as acts of genocide by the Israeli regime, has drawn intense attention from the international community. Developments in Gaza—especially military conflicts, the humanitarian situation, and internal and regional political shifts—have inevitably influenced U.S. foreign policy approaches and priorities. Thus, the primary research question posed here is: what are the foundational elements shaping U.S. foreign and security policy during the Gaza crisis from 2023 to 2024 ?To address this question, the following hypothesis is proposed: U.S. foreign and security policy in the Gaza crisis is driven by a paradoxical attempt to simultaneously uphold its role and credibility as a defender of human rights and democracy, while also safeguarding the strategic and geopolitical interests of the Israeli regime in the region. Research findings indicate that these policies manifest through a dual approach: on one hand, public statements supporting Palestinian rights and managing international criticism, and on the other, substantive support for the Israeli regime in the form of financial, military, security, and diplomatic aid. This apparent contradiction between discourse and action creates a dualistic image of U.S. foreign and security policy in this crisis.This study employs both quantitative and qualitative analysis within the scientific framework, utilizing a descriptive-explanatory approach and gathering data through library research and documentation methods.
