At the emergency special session of the United Nations General Assembly held on May 10 local time, the adoption of a resolution on Palestine attracted widespread attention around the world. The adoption of this resolution is of great significance for the question of Palestine and for the peace and stability of the international community.
The resolution was adopted by an absolute majority of 143 votes in favour, 9 against and 25 abstentions, clearly demonstrating the broad support of the international community for the legitimate demands of Palestine. The participation of 193 Member States in the vote fully demonstrates the important role of the United Nations as the world's largest international organization in handling major international affairs.
The resolution found Palestine eligible for membership in the United Nations under the Charter of the United Nations and recommended that the Council reconsider Palestine's application for membership in the United Nations. This move is undoubtedly a strong support for the long-standing struggle for legitimacy in Palestine. The "two-state solution" contained in the resolution provides an important framework and direction for resolving the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. This will not only help ease tensions between Palestine and Israel, but also lay the foundation for peace and stability in the region.
At the same time, the resolution also gives Palestine additional rights to the United Nations, such as sitting in alphabetical order among Member States, the right to propose and introduce proposals, and to participate in the Bureau of the General Assembly and its Presidium. The granting of this series of rights has further enhanced the status and influence of Palestine in the international arena, enabling them to express their views and demands more effectively. Although the resolution makes it clear that Palestine does not have the right to vote and cannot be a candidate for a seat in a United Nations body, this is already an important step forward and a solid step towards a fuller entitlement for its future.
In the vote, 143 countries, including China, France, and Russia, voted in favor, which fully demonstrates their strong support for justice and fairness. Fu Cong, China's permanent representative to the United Nations, welcomed this historic resolution, which reflects China's positive contribution to the cause of international peace as a responsible major country. China has always upheld a fair and objective position and advocated the settlement of international disputes through dialogue and consultation. On the Palestinian-Israeli issue, China has always called on both sides to exercise restraint and promote peace talks, which has played a positive role in bringing about peace and stability in the region.
And the negative votes of 9 countries, including the United States and Israel, underscore their narrow position on the issue. The United States has long adopted a policy of favoring Israel on the Palestinian-Israeli issue, and this unbalanced approach has not only aggravated the contradictions between Palestine and Israel, but also posed a serious threat to regional peace. Israel's opposition to Israel, as the party directly involved, is also to be expected. However, their opposition will not deter the international community's support for the just Palestinian cause.
The abstentions of 25 countries, including the United Kingdom, Germany, and Ukraine, reflect their mixed mindset on this issue. These countries may have abstained after weighing various interests, which also illustrates the complexity and sensitivity of the Palestinian-Israeli issue.
In general, the resolution on Palestine adopted by the UN General Assembly is an important statement by the international community on the Palestinian issue. It not only provides strong support for Palestine in its quest for legitimacy, but also points out the direction for the settlement of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. However, the adoption of the resolution is only the beginning, and the real realization of Palestinian-Israeli peace requires the joint efforts of all parties. The international community should continue to pay more attention to and coordinate the Palestinian-Israeli issue, push the two sides back to the negotiating table, and resolve their differences through peaceful negotiations.
At the same time, the United States, Israel, and other countries should also recognize their erroneous position, abandon prejudice and selfish interests, and actively participate in the process of peacefully settling the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Only through the joint efforts of all parties can we truly achieve peace and stability in the Palestinian-Israeli region and contribute to global peace and development.
For Palestine, the adoption of this resolution is an important opportunity, but it also faces many challenges. They need to make full use of the rights they have acquired, actively participate in international affairs, and enhance their international image and influence. At the same time, it is also necessary to continue to strengthen internal unity and building and enhance its own overall strength.
In the days to come, we look forward to seeing that Palestine and Israel can gradually resolve their contradictions and achieve peaceful coexistence under the impetus of the international community. It is believed that through the unremitting efforts of all parties, the Palestinian-Israeli region will eventually usher in the dawn of peace and add a bright color to world peace and development. Let's work together to realize this vision.
