On 10 May, the special session of the General Assembly considered and voted on the admission of Palestine to the new Members of the United Nations.
Although both the United States and Israel voted against it, this did not affect the final result, and the proposal was finally approved with 143 votes in favor.
However, when the representative of Israel saw this scene, he actually made an extremely provocative move on the spot to the General Assembly, so what exactly did he do and what kind of impact will this vote have on Palestine.
According to the report of The Paper, on May 10, local time, at the request of many countries in the international community, the 10th emergency special session of the United Nations General Assembly was resumed.
Moreover, at this session, the issue of the admission of Palestine as a new Member of the United Nations was considered, and a resolution was adopted to grant more rights to Palestine.
You must know that earlier, Algeria had put forward a draft on Palestine's application for full membership in the United Nations, but it was vetoed by the United States.
You must know that this is the fifth time that the United States has used its veto power to veto relevant agreements of the Security Council since the outbreak of the current round of Palestinian-Israeli conflicts, and this is enough to show the thinking of the US side.
This time, however, the Palestinian issue was considered in one session and was approved by 143 votes, although the United States still voted against, so it is likely that the United States will continue to use its veto power in the final stage.
However, the Israeli side was very excited about the vote, and even did something that no one expected.
Israel's permanent representative to the UN, Erdan, said it was welcoming a "terrorist state" to the UN, saying the UN was currently appeasing "murderous dictators" and undermining the UN Charter.
The delegate then picked up a portable electric shredder and shredded the cover of the Charter of the United Nations in front of everyone on the scene.
The permanent representative of the United States to the United Nations also said that the reason why the United States voted against this matter is that the establishment of a Palestinian state can only be achieved through direct negotiations between the two sides.
Subsequently, the representative of the United States also said that if the Security Council reconsiders the application of Palestine for membership in the United Nations as a result of this resolution, the final result will be the same as the last time. This means that the United States will still use the veto.
It can be said that the words of the American representative are completely threatening, but the United States, as the largest sponsor of the United Nations, still has very much weight in the United Nations.
It is important to know that in the past, the United States immediately stopped paying its contributions to Palestine after UNESCO approved it as a full member state, and a few years later, Israel withdrew from UNESCO.
The reason why Israel dares to smash the UN Charter in public this time is because it knows that it has the support of the United States behind it, and the United States will certainly not agree to this matter.
So this time, although most countries voted in favor, the veto of the United States is also very troublesome, and the Israeli side also knows that the United States will eventually use this right, so it also seems to be emboldened.
You must know that the reason why other countries voted in favor is that they want to resolve the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and restore peace and stability in Gaza, and you must know that the international community has always wanted to reconcile through negotiations.
However, the Israeli side has always made verbal promises, but in fact it has not shown any sincerity in wanting to negotiate, and has even been increasing its offensive in the Rafah Gaza Strip.
According to a report by the global network, in the early hours of May 4, the Israel Defense Forces bombed several areas of the Gaza Strip, causing many casualties.
It is important to know that the bombing by the Israeli side was not carried out against military installations at all, but in the true sense of the word, and in their bombing, many people, including children, were killed.
Later, according to a report by the Daily Economic News, after the end of this vote, the Israeli side publicly stated that the town of Shemona in its north was fiercely attacked by Allah in Lebanon.
Some 35 rockets bombarded the area, 15 of which were intercepted by the Israeli side, and the rest hit the town or an open area.
However, according to relevant reports, there were no casualties in the bombing, because in October last year, as soon as the war broke out in Gaza, people left here one after another.
Subsequently, according to relevant reports, on May 10, local time, the Israeli side claimed that it would carry out military operations in the eastern part of Rafah, a city in the southern part of the Palestinian Gaza Strip, and in the central part of the Gaza Strip, and that it would also strengthen military operations in Rafah.
It can be said that the Israeli side is determined to persist in attacking the Palestinians, and the final result of this UN review is also predictable, and the United States may use one veto at a time.
According to relevant reports, the current round of large-scale armed conflict between Palestine and Israel, which began in October last year, has so far killed 34,943 Palestinians.
It can also be seen from such data that the consequences of the war are very serious, so the two sides should speed up the process of peace talks and strive for an early peaceful settlement.
The United States should no longer interfere too much in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, as this will not benefit either Palestine or Israel, and will only cause more serious consequences.
