As the only superpower in the world, the United States has military strength that makes many countries impossible to achieve, but no one thought that the US military is also the most troubled army.
According to a US media report on November 13, a US coalition "Black Hawk" helicopter crashed in the southern Sinai Peninsula in Egypt. Only one of the eight people on the plane survived. The seven dead were five US soldiers, one French army and one French army. 1 Czech female soldier. The only survivor has been placed in a hospital in Israel. As for the cause of the crash, the coalition forces are investigating.
According to reports, the eight soldiers are members of the Multinational Observer Force (MFO). MFO was formed in the "Egypt-Israel Peace Treaty" in 1979. It is composed of 13 countries and is stationed in the disputed area of the Sinai Peninsula. Its main task is to monitor the peace agreement and monitor the armistice.
It is worth noting that Japan is also a member of this organization. Although the number of people sent is small, it is of great significance to Japan. Currently, the organization has more than 1,150 members, of which nearly one-third are American soldiers. According to comprehensive reports, these unfortunate members were performing a certain task.
It is understood that Israel occupied the Sinai Peninsula in 1967, and then under the mediation of the United States and other countries, Egypt and Israel reached a peace agreement in 1979, and Israel promised to return the Sinai Peninsula. At the same time, countries such as the United States, Britain, France, Australia, and Italy launched peacekeeping projects in 1982.
However, in May of this year, Trump said that he would reduce the number of US troops stationed in the Sinai Peninsula. As soon as this remark came out, Israel immediately became anxious, saying that "the presence of US troops in the Sinai Peninsula is very important" and hopes that the White House will not withdraw its troops. In recent years, attacks on military police and civilians have frequently occurred in the Sinai Peninsula. In 2017, a large number of terrorists attacked a mosque near Arish, the capital of North Sinai Province, causing more than 200 deaths and more than 100 injuries.
In fact, Israel has to face not only threats from Egypt and Syria, but also security threats from non-state armed forces such as the Palestine Liberation Organization and Hezbollah.
Although Israel has resorted to retaliatory counterattacks, Israel’s tough policy has not been effective in the face of "guerrilla warfare" by armed elements. Therefore, no matter from which aspect, Israel needs the U.S. umbrella. The irony of
is that some people beg the U.S. military not to leave, but some people want the U.S. military to leave. Some time ago, the current US President Trump stated that the US military stationed in Afghanistan is expected to withdraw to the United States before Christmas 2020. Regarding this matter, the Taliban agreed with both hands, but US government officials were surprised by Trump's statement, believing that this move may jeopardize peace negotiations.
Recently, the Taliban have spoken out on the US election, hoping that the president-elect of the United States can abide by the US withdrawal agreement. However, there is news that the Taliban are still creating chaos in Afghanistan, leading to escalating violence in the country. This also means that the U.S. military may not fulfill its commitments as scheduled, nor will it completely withdraw and dismantle military bases.
