This part made me laugh:

The US for its part is furious that Guterres raised the crisis in such a dramatic fashion, and feel he has played into the hands of Russia and China by damaging US standing with the so-called global south.

Perhaps America would improve it’s standing in the global south by not adopting a policy that, at face value, could be easily portrayed by it’s enemies as valuing the lives of Jews in Israel above Muslims in Palestine.
Russia can, unfortunately, easily draw parallels with the situation in Ukraine and point out that America is no arbiter of moral fairness. If, and it remains an if at this point, the USA sell out Ukraine as a price worth paying for their military industrial complex to redirect resources into the Middle East that will cause further friction.
It’d be inevitable European countries will ask themselves if the price that they have paid economically to support a cause America dropped on a whim was worth it.
I dread to think the potential consequences for politics in European countries with sizeable Muslim minorities or Ukrainian refugees.
