Finally! Palestine, which has suffered so much from the war, has heard the good news that the United Nations has passed the issue of Palestine's accession to the United Nations, which means that the voice of Palestine will be heard by the whole world.
143:9！ Palestine has taken an important step
According to relevant reports, the United Nations recently held its 10th emergency special session, the agenda of which was to admit Palestine as a new member of the United Nations and grant more rights to Palestine.
The item was adopted by 143 votes in favour, 9 against and 25 abstentions.
More than 4/5 of the votes in favor and only a single digit against, indicating that this is the desire of the people around the world.
Among them, there are several details before and after the vote, which are very touching. In the pre-vote canvassing session for Palestine, Mansour, the permanent observer of Palestine to the United Nations, choked up several times and called on all countries to vote in favor.

After the adoption of the resolution, the audience burst into loud applause, and the representatives of many countries stood up and lined up to congratulate the Palestinian representatives.
Subsequently, the Palestinian president issued a message expressing his gratitude to the countries that voted for Palestine in the UN General Assembly and thanking them for their "support for truth and justice."
Only Palestine knows its central acid, but fortunately the end result is positive.
The adoption of the issue on Palestinian accession to the United Nations means that the Palestinians will have more rights in the United Nations, and the resolution will greatly strengthen the role of the Palestinians in the largest body of the United Nations and will allow the Palestinians to behave in a similar manner to ordinary Member States in the United Nations General Assembly.
At the same time, it means that Palestinian representatives can speak out on the Middle East conflict at the United Nations, so that the world can hear the demands of the Palestinians.
Most importantly, it signifies that the United Nations recognizes Palestine as an independent state, laying a solid foundation for the future establishment of Palestinian statehood.
However, the Palestinians do not currently have regular voting rights and are not allowed to run as candidates for the United Nations bodies.

China's efforts worked
In short, the adoption of the Palestine-related issue by the General Assembly is of great positive significance.
Palestine has also come a long way in its quest for this place. As early as September 2011, Palestine applied for membership in the United Nations, but the Security Council did not approve it.
Since the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, Palestine has repeatedly raised this issue, and has been vetoed by the United States many times.
As a responsible major country, China has given unequivocal support to Palestine in the process of resolving the Palestinian issue.
Less than 12 hours after the UN General Assembly adopted the issue of Palestine, Fu Cong, China's permanent representative to the United Nations, expressed China's attitude.
【Fu Cong, Permanent Representative of the People's Republic of China to the United Nations】
First of all, China welcomes this historic resolution and stresses the legitimate right of the Palestinian people to establish an independent state.
Subsequently, the Chinese side criticized the United States for using its veto power to obstruct Palestine's accession to the United Nations, and called on the international community to make joint efforts to support the process of Palestine's accession to the United Nations without further delay or obstacles.
Finally, on the question of Palestine, China's position of supporting Palestine's accession to the United Nations is based on its commitment to a comprehensive, just and lasting settlement of the question of Palestine and respect for relevant UN resolutions.
China believes that Palestine should enjoy the same status as Israel, the Palestinian people should enjoy the same rights, and that independent statehood is the long-term aspiration of the Palestinian people and a key step towards lasting peace in the Middle East.
Therefore, China not only expressed its support in words, but also participated in the co-sponsoring of the relevant resolutions in support of Palestine's accession to the UN in deeds, and urged the UN Security Council to respond positively to the UN General Assembly resolution, deliberate and take action as soon as possible.
China has not only said this, but also done so, speaking out in the international community on behalf of Palestine and sending supplies to the people of Gaza in the midst of war.
The United States and Israel are isolated
However, if Palestine wants to truly join the UN Security Council, it must cross the threshold of the United States.
[Biden and Netanyahu]
For the sake of Israel, the United States has repeatedly vetoed the normal demands of Palestine, and this time is no exception, and the United States has already said that if the UN General Assembly resubmits Palestine's application for membership to the Security Council, the result will be the same as in April.
In mid-April, the United States rejected Palestine's application for membership.
Therefore, Palestine still has a rather difficult way to go before it can truly join the United Nations.
However, the fact that the majority of the country's representatives support Palestine has proved that the United States is becoming more and more isolated, and the majority of countries do not approve of the United States' one-vote veto of Palestine's accession to the United Nations.
In the face of the unreasonable behavior of the United States, the international community will also reconsider paving the way for Palestine to apply for membership, and it is not a wise choice for the United States and Israel to obstruct the trend of the times on their own.
Moreover, what the United States has done in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict has already made the whole world angry, and it is also the United States that blindly favors Israel, causing the tragedy of the people in Gaza today, and the international community can no longer sit idly by.
Similarly, with regard to the accession of Palestine to the United Nations, the Palestinian delegates were confident that the day of justice would come, and that "occupation and colonialism and death and destruction" were not their fate, but freedom.
