On November 29, 1947, United Nations Resolution 181, there was a very good opportunity for Palestine to enter the United Nations directly, but the five Arab countries wanted to divide the entire Palestinian region and the new Israel. As a result, the Middle East war broke out, and Israel not only retained the territory allocated to Israel by UN Resolution 181, but also seized the territory of the northern Galilee. West of the Jordan River and Gaza were occupied by Jordan and Egypt, respectively. Later, after successive wars in the Middle East, Israel expelled both Egypt and Jordan from the Palestinian areas. Today's Palestinian National Authority is now the equivalent of an autonomous government beneath Israel.
77 years later, on April 18, 2024, history will come around again. The UN Security Council once again voted on whether Palestine would become a full member of the UN. The five permanent members and 10 non-permanent members of the United Nations voted 12 in favor, 2 abstentions and 1 against. Not surprisingly, it must be the United States that opposes it. In 2011, Palestine became an observer state at the United Nations, and 13 years later, the matter is still far away.
In this regard, US Deputy Ambassador to the United Nations Wood previously believed that whether Palestine can establish a state should not be voted on by the United Nations, but negotiated with Israel. Wood means that only after the Palestinian-Israeli peace talks can the matter of statehood be considered, and Hamas has not yet laid down the intention of laying down its weapons, and Hamas still has hundreds of hostages in its hands, how to talk about statehood.
Israel's representative, Erdan, scolded that the "Al-Aqsa flood" plan launched by Hamas on October 7 to attack Israel is now allowing them to establish a state, which is not a punishment, but a reward. Erdan's temper is not very good, but it is true.
In addition, Turkey's Erdogan recently hosted Hania, the leader of Hamas's Politburo, who said that Hamas can lay down its arms, but the size of the country will return to the 1967 borders. Chania thought it was so beautiful, isn't this asking price too high. But it's good to have a price, you can ask for a price, and Israel can pay it back on the ground. The asking price is too high, and the customer will run.
If it is a sovereign state, then the "Al-Aqsa flood" on October 7 is an invasion, and Israel has no problem at all in beating him. If it is an autonomous republic, then it is a war on terror, and then the civilians implicated in Gaza should be injured by mistake. But since the massive number of civilian casualties in Gaza, no one seems to have mentioned the causes of the current war in Gaza.
According to the Times of Israel and AFP, the Israeli Foreign Ministry summoned 6 of the 12 countries (France, Japan, South Korea, Malta, Slovenia and Ecuador) on the 21st to express Israel's strong protest, and the Israeli Foreign Ministry said:
The clear message to ambassadors is that six months after the massacre of 7 October, such a political gesture to the Palestinians and a call for recognition of the State of Palestine is a reward for KBZY.
The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs also stated that the same protest instrument would be submitted to several other countries.
It can be said that Israel does not think that it is at fault now, and that it was Hamas's attack on Israel that caused Israel to counterattack, and Israel tried its best to control casualties, but it could not avoid it, and the Palestinian question is really an unsolvable problem.
