U.S. officials on Tuesday scrambled to distance themselves from a series of Israeli military actions in Syria and Gaza that threaten to escalate hostilities in the region and further draw America into the conflict.

Monday's attack was a major escalation that "crossed a new line" in what has largely been a shadow war between the two foes, says Ali Vaez, director of the International Crisis Group's Iran Project. Striking an Iranian diplomatic facility was "almost like targeting Iran on its sovereign soil," he says.

There is little doubt that Iran will follow through on its threat to retaliate against Israel for the attack on its embassy compound, officials and analysts said on Tuesday.

At the same time, U.S. officials on Tuesday sought to manage global anger and control the fallout from the Israeli Defense Forces' strike on a humanitarian convoy, which killed seven workers for the charity organization World Central Kitchen on April 1.

These are only the latest incidents that have forced U.S. officials to spend a significant amount of time answering for Israel's actions.

It's not easy being Israel's bitch, defending the indefensible, unconditionally supporting and funding evil while trying retain support of those who can see that evil for what it is.

It doesn't help that, while governments around the world have condemned Israel's murder of innocent aid workers, the best Blinken could manage wasn't far short of "who gives a fuck?".
