  "summary": "The US has become less influential in the Middle East, with its actions and expressions of regret being largely ignored by regional countries. According to Le Monde English, the US now behaves similarly to Europeans in the region, with its concerns and statements having little impact.\n\nIran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has targeted US-linked sites in Jordan, Kuwait, and Bahrain in retaliation for US strikes against IRGC targets in Iran, as reported by The Jerusalem Post. The IRGC's strategy appears to be focused on pressuring the US out of the region before any potential conflict with Israel.\n\nChinese President Xi Jinping and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi have reaffirmed their support for an independent Palestinian state, with East Jerusalem as its capital, based on 1967 borders, as stated in a joint declaration following Xi's state visit to Cairo, according to Middle East Eye.",
