On May 10, local time, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the resolution of Palestine "joining the United Nations" according to the final voting results, which is undoubtedly great news for Palestine.

At the General Assembly, many countries also congratulated Palestine, but although the international community and European changes will think that this is a good thing, it is not the case for the countries that voted against it.

At a glance, most of the countries that voted against are countries related to the United States, and Hungary is the only one that stands out because Hungary has always advocated peace and justice, and its position is very positive, and it is unlikely to be influenced by the United States and Western countries.

This makes one wonder why Hungary voted against it. Does this have anything to do with the United States?

Palestine adopts a General Assembly resolution

May 10 was a day of celebration for the Palestinian people, and after a long period of scrambling at the United Nations, Palestine finally waited for good news.

On May 10, local time in the United States, the United Nations continued to convene the 10th emergency special session, which was actually reinstated and has lasted for a long time, but has not been able to get a final result.

As early as April 1997, the 10th Emergency General Assembly was announced, but since then it has been suspended countless times for various reasons, and now the meeting has finally been brought back to the table.

The resumption of the 10th emergency session of the General Assembly was proposed by the Arab and Muslim blocs, and with the consent of the President of the General Assembly, it was in fact a matter of great expectation, as can be seen from the results of the votes at the meeting.

During this meeting, the participating member states voted on Palestine's "accession to the United Nations", in fact, the relevant votes have been held many times, but the final result is the same, and the voting situation is not optimistic.

However, what is shocking is that the result of this vote was particularly unexpected, and the final result was directly crushed by 143 votes in favor and 9 votes against, and it can be seen that the vast majority of countries in the international community have recognized Palestine's "accession to the United Nations."

Although the result of this vote can only give more rights to Palestine and is not really joining the United Nations, it is definitely good news for Palestine, after all, compared to the previous hopelessness, at least now it has seen the light.

The performance of Palestine is very good, which is seen by the entire international community, and it is widely believed that Palestine is fully qualified for membership in the United Nations, but the few countries that voted against it do not.

Led by the United States, many of these countries are mostly "vassals" of the United States, and have no reference value, but the name of Hungary unexpectedly appeared in the camp of the opposing votes, which is very incomprehensible.

After all, Hungary's reputation in the international community was very good and it was also a sensible country, but in the face of such a major right and wrong, it was very abnormal for Hungary to join the opposition camp led by the United States.

So why did Hungary choose to side with Israel and vote against it?

Hungary's move was already predestined

In fact, when it comes to the question of Palestine, the complexity of the whole thing is exponential, because that part of the Middle East is so chaotic that it is even fought on a year-by-year basis, and there are constant wars.

When it comes to the Middle East, the first thing that comes to people's minds is the war in the Middle East, Syria, Iraq, Israel, and any country that is not "good at it", it can be called synonymous with the word war.

Palestine, on the other hand, is relatively less well-known, but its geographical location is just in the "encirclement" of these countries, the entire territory of Palestine is surrounded by Israel, and part of the country is in the central and eastern parts of Israel.

Such a geographical location directly dooms Palestine to be a place of constant war, and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict between Israel and Palestine alone does not know how long it has lasted, which is also the fundamental reason why Palestine is in war.

For this reason, it is naturally difficult for Palestine to extricate itself from the war-torn situation, so it can only hope to join the United Nations, but it has to be said that the resistance to Palestine's accession to the United Nations is really a bit big.

I don't know how many times, most of which are obstructed by the United States, and the veto power of the United States is very important at this time, but Hungary is obviously not in league with the United States.

Hungary is a relatively special country in the European Union, not completely obeying the EU in everything, but always maintaining its own independent judgment, which is very commendable, and has always supported justice in the international community, and has not been in the same boat as the United States.

From this point of view, Hungary's opposition vote will naturally not be influenced by the United States and Western countries, so we can only find the reason from Hungary itself.

The essence of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is the conflict between Israel and Palestine, and the two countries are fighting each other because of problems left over from history, but in fact the two groups are of the same root and origin, and because of the influence of the United States and other countries, the two groups are inseparable and begin to fight for such a territory.

Hungary is located in the north of the entire Middle East, and there are many countries between Hungary and Israel, and to be honest, the security of this place does not directly affect Hungary's security, but the relationship between Hungary and Israel is very unusual.

After all, Hungary is an outlier in the whole of Europe, and it will have its own ideas about everything, of course, this matter is no exception, because of the existence of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, many countries will have some sympathy for Palestine.

This is because the Palestinian people have indeed suffered a lot of unfair treatment, and have endured countless wars and turmoil, such as the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and the Middle East war, but they are still able to maintain their tenacious spirit and never give up on the road of struggle.

Therefore, the international community generally hopes that the Palestinian-Israeli conflict will end as soon as possible and that the suffering of the two peoples will be ended, but this is not the case for Hungary, which will only look at the problem from a mutual standpoint.

Just like the friendly diplomatic relations with China at the beginning, because China's attitude is very friendly, and also brought the "Belt and Road" initiative to Europe, Hungary saw that the mainland is so sincere, and directly became the first European country to join the "Belt and Road".

From here, it can be seen that Hungary actually looks at the problem very simply, simply how the relationship between the country and its own country is, so in view of the relationship between Hungary and Israel, Hungary will of course vote against it without hesitation.

Although this vote is not of much use for a landslide, it is crucial for the relationship between Hungary and Israel, and in 2017 the Israeli Prime Minister made a special visit to Hungary.

But Hungary and Palestine do not have much in common, so according to the way Hungary thinks about the problem, this negative vote is naturally "reasonable".

Hungary opposes Palestine's entry into the UN! Why is he on Israel's side?

Hungary dared to risk the world's big words, and it was able to cast this vote just because of its relationship with Israel, and Hungary is indeed genuine, which is worthy of praise.

But then again, Hungary is still a bit too simplistic on such a key issue as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and the suffering of the Palestinian people is obvious to all, and if it is only for the sake of relations with Israel, the negative vote is a little unworthy.

I also hope that Hungary will be able to look at the problem more comprehensively and objectively in the future, this is a major matter between countries, and it is indeed a bit inappropriate to "play with a child's temper".
