The Biden administration pressured Palestine to give up becoming a full member of the United Nations, but the Palestinian president decisively refused, China and Russia both expressed their support, and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi bluntly said that the United States has no privileges.
It is reported that the Biden administration is pressuring the Palestinian government to abandon their application to become a full member of the United Nations. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken also made a direct phone call to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to make the request. And, almost every day, U.S. officials are pressuring Palestine on this issue.
Even, the Biden administration proposed to Abbas that as long as Palestine gave up the application, the United States would invite Abbas to the White House to meet with Biden, but Abbas decisively refused. You know, this is not the first time that the United States has mentioned this matter, as early as a year ago, Abbas agreed to this request from the United States, but never received an invitation from the United States.
Therefore, Palestine will no longer believe in American nonsense. Moreover, the United States has never really wanted to hold a meeting with the Palestinian head of state, but only to prevent Palestine from becoming a full member of the United Nations. In addition, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict has not been resolved for a long time, and Palestine does not want to continue to sit idly by and be willing to be the meat of others.
So, two weeks ago, the Permanent Observer of Palestine to the United Nations sent a joint letter to Guterres asking the United Nations to reconsider the application submitted by Palestine. At present, the application has been referred to the Committee for the Admission of New Member States, but the 15 members of the Council are quite divided on the matter.
Western countries, led by the United States, have expressed opposition to this matter, but China and Russia have strong support. However, according to United Nations rules, the admission of new Member States must be voted on by the Security Council and the consent of at least nine Council members is required, again without a veto by the permanent members.
At the same time, the concurrence of two-thirds of the Member States in a vote in the General Assembly is required. It can be seen that this process is quite long and arduous. In recent days, the United States has been exerting pressure on Palestine and lobbying Security Council members not to approve of this matter, so that the United States does not need to use its veto power.
After all, since the outbreak of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the United States has used its veto power on the Palestinian-Israeli issue four times, and the frequent use of the veto will damage the reputation of the United States in the international community, and the Biden administration will also have to bear the blame from within the United States. It is worth mentioning that at a time when the United States is constantly manipulating, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi also spoke out on this matter.
It is reported that in the past two days, Foreign Minister Wang Yi, who is visiting Indonesia, openly stated in an interview that China supports Lalestan to become a full member of the United Nations, and at the same time, he also called on the United States to shoulder the responsibility of a permanent member of the Security Council and let go of the mentality of being a self-respecting member, and the United Nations is not a tool for manipulating politics, and the United States does not have any "privileges."
In fact, Resolution 2728, which adopted an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, was the most powerful blow to US-style hegemony. This is enough to show that the United Nations is not left to the United States, and the space for the United States to use the United Nations to play geopolitics is constantly being compressed.
More and more countries have dared to stand up against hegemony, and the United States, which keeps shouting justice, is the real creator of the disaster. Not only that, the risk of a Palestinian-Israeli conflict is constantly spilling over because of the US obstruction, the ceasefire in Gaza has been delayed, and the security of the local people is constantly threatened, and the risk of a Palestinian-Israeli conflict is constantly spilling over, as exemplified by the recent contradictions between Iran and Israel.
If the United States does not want to provoke more backlash for itself, it should stop in time, promote a ceasefire in Gaza as soon as possible, and bring the Palestinians and Israelis to the negotiating table. Otherwise, the influence of the United States in the Middle East and even the world will be further weakened.
