This is exciting news!
On the morning of May 10, local time, at the request of many countries, the 10th emergency special session of the United Nations General Assembly was resumed. The meeting considered the issue of admitting Palestine as a new Member of the United Nations and adopted a resolution granting more rights to Palestine. This is a reaffirmation of the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination, and it is also a major reversal of the international political landscape!
In this vote, 143 countries voted in favor, including China, France, Russia and other countries, while the United States, Israel and other 9 countries voted against, and 25 countries including the United Kingdom, Germany and Ukraine chose to abstain. This shows the international community's concern and support for the question of Palestine.
There is still a long way to go for Palestine to "join the United Nations."
The resolution's recognition of Palestine's membership in the Charter of the United Nations is a great encouragement to the Palestinian people and a response to the international community's call for peace.
Palestine, a land ravaged by historical strife and war, has always been a hot topic in the international community. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been repeated for decades, and generations of the people of Burroughs have lost their homes and been displaced by the continuous encroachment and occupation of their land.
Do you remember the "two-state solution"? It is to let Palestine and Israel coexist side by side, respect each other and coexist peacefully, which is not just a slogan, but also carries the call for peace and justice behind it.
The adoption of the resolution will greatly enhance the position of Palestine in the negotiations on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. However, the vote was only in favor of Palestine's "accession to the United Nations," and the relevant resolution did not grant Palestine formal membership in the United Nations, but only recognized Palestine's eligibility to join the United Nations. Membership in the United Nations requires the approval of the Security Council and then the adoption of the General Assembly.
On April 18 this year, the United States ruthlessly vetoed the application of the State of Palestine to become a full member of the United Nations in the Security Council, so the road to becoming a full member of the United Nations is still full of thorns. It is hoped that this resolution will bring new opportunities for the settlement of the Palestinian-Israeli issue, promote the implementation of the two-state solution, and promote world peace and stability.
The "-stirring sticks" of the United States have never stopped
All along, the United States has repeatedly used its veto power on the Palestinian-Israeli issue to unjustifiably obstruct the efforts of the international community to resolve the long-standing historical injustice suffered by Palestine, which is completely inconsistent with the responsibility of a responsible major country.
As a world-renowned "hypocrite and real villain", the United States has continuously supplied weapons to Israel and connived at Israel's occupation of Gaza by force through a huge military aid bill. In the voting of the United Nations, the United States has repeatedly exercised the veto power of the permanent members to safeguard Israel's interests.
If Palestine succeeds in joining the United Nations, it will be difficult for the United States to maintain balance in the Middle East, and international pressure will follow. So, the United States will definitely get in the way and prevent Palestine from joining the United Nations. Even after the recent conflict in Gaza, when the United States and Israel fell out, the United States remained steadfast on Israel's side.
In response to the recent anti-Semitic protests in the United States, the United States recently passed a bill to treat criticism of Israel as anti-Semitic behavior, which is not only a serious violation of the principles of liberal democracy, but also an absurd approach. In the United States, which has long been touted as a beacon of liberal democracy, such behavior is undoubtedly disappointing.
Israel doesn't want to smash the charter face
And the angry Israeli delegates directly broke the defense at the conference site! Israel's Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Edan, took the stage when he used a miniature shredder to destroy a miniature copy of the Charter of the United Nations. This is really a dramatic body!
It is not surprising that Israel reacted so violently, given that once Palestine had successfully joined the United Nations, Israel would not have been able to do so wantonly. What worries Israel even more is that the Palestinian side will be allowed to join the International Criminal Court and ask the court to investigate Israel's war crimes in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict!
Israel, as a re-established state of the Jewish people who had existed on earth for more than two thousand years, was taken in by the Palestinian people after World War II. However, when Israel gained a foothold in the Middle East, they were not grateful to the Palestinian people. On the contrary, they have seized the land and homeland of the Palestinian people through constant bloody and military conquest.
In the Middle East, Israel has also been in a state of extremely tense conflict and war with neighboring Arab countries for a long time, and has become an important source of chaos in the Middle East and the world. Now, they continue to wreak havoc on the terrible humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, which has provoked strong opposition and condemnation from the people of the world.
Turkey, an important member of NATO, has announced that it will suspend all trade with Israel, and some countries have also announced the severance of diplomatic relations with Israel. In the United States, Europe and other places, anti-Israel protests have been held one after another, and teachers and students of dozens of well-known universities have also held activities to protest against Israel's racist massacres.
The United States and Israel, for the sake of narrow selfish interests, have forcibly seized Palestinian land, massacred the Palestinian people, and obstructed international humanitarian assistance.
China's attitude shows that it is responsible as a major country
Fu Cong, China's permanent representative to the United Nations, said in his speech on May 10 that China participated in the historic resolution adopted by the UN General Assembly on the same day, and China welcomed the adoption of the resolution and supported the Security Council's reconsideration of Palestine's application for membership in the UN.
As one of the largest developing countries in the world, China has always played a constructive role in international affairs, especially on the Middle East issue, and has always advocated resolving contradictions and promoting the peace process through dialogue and negotiation.
On April 26, the visit of Hamas and Fatah representatives to China attracted widespread attention. Their visit was aimed at in-depth exchanges with China on the reconciliation plan and the establishment of a Palestinian state, which showed their trust and expectation in China in resolving complex issues. At the same time, it also highlights China's active role and position in Middle East affairs.
More importantly, Hamas has shown signs of willingness to make some significant concessions. They expressed their willingness to transform into political parties and support the two-state solution, which offered new hope for a solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Hamas's change in attitude is regarded as a great piece of good news for the situation in the Middle East and has injected new impetus into regional peace and stability. At the same time, it also highlights China's active role in promoting the resolution of regional issues and demonstrates its responsibility as a major country.
The establishment of an independent state is the long-cherished aspiration of the Palestinian people, and formal membership in the United Nations is a crucial step in this historical process. We are confident that one day the State of Palestine will become a full Member of the United Nations and will enjoy full and equal rights in the United Nations on an equal footing with other Member States. Let us all look forward to the appearance of a peaceful, stable and prosperous Middle Eastern country in front of the world!
