Who actually thinks that the US president is actually capable of doing anything lasting to help the Near East?

Seriously - every attempt has failed. The best opportunity was the Arab Spring and the Obama administration mostly stayed on the sidelines.

To think that the US is the only hope for peace is jingoistic and unrealistic.

How about not supplying weapons for a genocide? Or not vetoing resolutions for ceasefire? If the USA was neutral in this conflict your statement would be true, but it's obviously not.

And going back to the Houthi attacks:

A spokesperson for the Houthi forces, Yahya Saree, wrote in a post on X that this decision was due to the “horrific massacres” against Palestinians in Gaza and said they would continue to act until food and medicine was made available for the Gaza Strip. — source

The US with all its western lapdogs could provide basic humanitarian aid to a people being genocided, instead of providing support for an illegal blockade, and the attacks would end. It seems like a win win, no brainer decision for anyone who isn't a senile imperialistic liberal.
