At present, the international situation is complicated, and relations between countries are like the wings of cicadas, which can break down if they are not careful.
Therefore, it has become very important for countries to get along with each other, and if they go the wrong way, the consequences will be very serious.
Israel is currently in an embarrassing situation, and the conflict between Israel and Iran has turned to the front of the scenes and will trigger a conflict in an instant. But at this very moment, Israel has done an unwise thing and completely offended China.
1. Israel was beaten
In early April, Israel launched an attack on the Iranian embassy in Syria, resulting in the tragic death of seven people on the Iranian side.
According to reports, Israel dispatched F-35 fighter jets and fired a total of six missiles, all of which were detonated at the Iranian embassy in Syria.
Subsequently, the Israeli side recalled all combat force personnel to fully respond to Iran's possible retaliation.
Countries have also condemned Israel's surprise attack, and a spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry has also expressed opposition to any act that causes tensions.
In mid-April, Iran's announced retaliation also came as planned. Early that morning, Iran launched a large-scale attack on Israel.
Iran dispatched a total of 170 suicide drones, accompanied by hundreds of ballistic missiles.
Although Israel claims that 99 percent of its missiles were shot down, some of them hit their targets, causing casualties among Israeli civilians.
Air raid sirens were sounded in southern Israel, and people were hiding in bomb shelters for fear of follow-up attacks.
Israel also immediately announced that it would not be "indifferent" and that Iran would not escape Israel's punishment. At this point, the conflict between the two sides began to escalate, and a local war was on the verge of breaking out. According to reports, the Israeli side has targeted Iran's nuclear facilities.
The scale of Iran's attack on Israel is staggering. According to the claims of the Iranian side, more than 50% of the missiles hit the target, which were Israeli military coordinates. Israel, however, said only a few military bases had been slightly damaged.
Leaving aside the casualties on both sides, the attack alone has raised eyebrows. There is a potential for an escalation in the current conflict between Israel and Iran, so how countries express their stance is also an indication of who they will choose to support.
The United States responded at the first time, saying that when Iran attacked Israel, the U.S. military helped Israel shoot down most of the missiles.
It is not difficult to see that the United States is on Israel's side on this issue, and its purpose is naturally to meddle in the Middle East for its own sake.
In addition, what is more concerning is China's attitude. China condemned Israel's actions when it launched an attack on the Iranian embassy in Syria. So, what is China's attitude towards Iran's response to Israel today?
In the aftermath of the incident, the United Nations Security Council convened an emergency meeting on the matter, at which China said the issue might be "resolved." At the same time, the Chinese representative believes that the two sides should remain calm and exercise restraint and resolve the current issue with international law.
What is surprising is that China's statement this time has also been supported by the United States, Britain and other countries, which is very rare in the Security Council in the past. It can be seen that China is indeed standing from a neutral point of view this time, and the purpose is to calm down both sides.
Representatives of Iran and Israel also responded, pledging not to seek war. But not long after China's persuasion, Israel did an unwise thing and completely offended China. What exactly has Israel done, and what will be the consequences?
Second, Israel has offended China
The Taiwan Strait issue has always been China's internal affair, and at the same time, it is also an issue that no other country can meddle in. However, in recent years, a very small number of countries have made a fuss about the Taiwan issue in an attempt to achieve the goal of splitting China.
Israel is one of them, and it has taken it to the extreme. On many public occasions, Israel has declared that it respects the "one-China" principle put forward by China. Behind the scenes, however, Israel and the United States support the "Taiwan independence" forces.
In particular, after China issued a warning to the United States to prohibit the United States from selling weapons and equipment to Taiwan in various ways, Israel stood up and became the spokesman of the United States. It can be said that Israel has offended China in this matter.
But even so, China still chooses neutrality in the Security Council and calls on the two sides to resolve all issues through peaceful negotiations. It is not an exaggeration to create a good story about China's behavior of "repaying grievances with virtue", but Israel does not think so.
Israel, which had just been beaten, sent a delegation of parliamentarians to Taiwan. The "Taiwan authorities" were also extremely excited about Israel's arrival, and Lai Ching-te even sent his deputy to greet him personally, and the meaning of flattery was very obvious.
At present, Israel is in a time of extreme instability, and the Cabinet has been closed for three consecutive days to seek a solution to the dispute. However, the Knesset of Israel, on the other hand, chose to visit Taiwan at this time, regardless of domestic problems.
What is certain is that the Israeli side chose to visit Taiwan at this sensitive time in order to give China eye medicine. After all, not so long ago, after Iran launched a massive air strike, Israel blamed China for not condemning Iran.
But the crux of the matter is, how should China condemn it? You know, it was Israel that took the lead in attacking the Iranian embassy in Syria. While Iran's retaliatory military attack may seem inappropriate, it is not a reason for China to condemn it.
In fact, the purpose of Israel's move is very simple, that is, to force China to take sides, choose to support Israel in the international community, and then force Iran to comply. But for China, Israel's visit to Taiwan has crossed a red line, and China will never be threatened by it.
Perhaps Israel does not understand that China's role at this critical moment is very large, otherwise the United States would not have recognized China's proposal at the Security Council. Israel does not see this clearly, but thinks that this is China's delay.
If it offends China at this time, Israel will definitely not get the answer it wants. In particular, the United States has long contacted China in order to de-escalate the conflict.
In addition, the performance of the "Taiwan authorities" was also expected, and Tsai Ing-wen even received the delegation.
According to the Israeli side, the current friendship between the two sides has been further escalated, and Taiwan has been compared to an independent region, which has obviously encouraged the arrogance of "Taiwan independence." Tsai Ing-wen also said that Israel is a "good friend" of Taiwan.
3. What are the consequences
Israel's choice to visit Taiwan was naturally not a sudden decision, and the clues can be seen in the speeches of such delegations. The delegation of Israel expressed its condolences over the recent earthquake in Taiwan, while also expressing concern about the threat to the "Taiwan authorities".
The so-called "threat" is actually an allusion to the Taiwan issue and compares both sides to smaller "democracies", which is naturally unacceptable to China. Israel's current actions completely negate the "one-China" principle put forward by China.
Tsai Ing-wen is also happy to praise Israel, while also condemning Israel's attack on Iran. In fact, this has already demonstrated the attitude of the "Taiwan authorities" and that the DPP has stood in the ranks of Israel.
In fact, this result is also predictable, because after all, the DPP has always been the nest of the "Taiwan independence" forces. Now Israel's visit to Taiwan has given the DPP an opportunity, and Tsai Ing-wen has also expressed her own thoughts.
But this time, Tsai Ing-wen made a mistake, that is, she mistakenly stood behind Israel and ignored a serious problem. You know, Israel was attacked by Iran because Israel was the first to attack the Iranian embassy in Syria.
Iran has only retaliated militarily without directly declaring war on Israel, which is already very restrained. After all, according to international conventions, Israel's move has violated international law, and the consequences encountered are unimaginable.
But Israel doesn't think so, and instead throws the problem at Iran, which it says is destabilizing the Middle East. That's why Israel demands that all countries condemn Iran, and even more so wants Iran to stop its research and development of nuclear weapons.
However, Israel has also overlooked the fact that it is itself an illegal nuclear state, and at this time it wants Iran to stop developing nuclear weapons.
It can also be seen from this that Israel's biggest concern is not Iran, but the fear that Iran will possess nuclear weapons.
After all, in the current Middle East, Israel, which has nuclear weapons, also has a high right to speak, and is not afraid of the challenges of many countries in the Middle East. But if Iran also possesses nuclear weapons, it will pose a status threat to Israel.
In the final analysis, it is precisely because its own interests are threatened that Israel chooses to launch a sudden attack on Iran, and it should bear the consequences of its own actions. And against the backdrop of China's conciliation, Israel chose to visit Taiwan, which offended China even more.
At present, there are no consequences for Israel's actions, but in the long run, it is impossible for Israel to gain China's support. Although Israel claims to retaliate against Iran again, the problem is long gone.
For Israel, its double standard has been seen through by all countries, and the countries that choose to support Israel are motivated by other purposes. And those countries that have not helped Israel condemn Iran also want to seek peace, not to escalate the conflict.
epilogue
It is not difficult to see that Israel's request for solidarity from the international community is actually aimed at getting Iran to stop developing nuclear weapons.
The purpose of the United States to support Israel is also based on this consideration, after all, Iran has also been subject to economic sanctions by the United States.
But the crux of the matter is that if you want to gain the support of other countries, you have to keep your feet on the ground. But Israel did not do so, but offended China at a critical moment.
In the future, it is undeniable that China will no longer help Israel on this issue.
