The UN General Assembly surrounded the Security Council, and China's speech made Lao Mei smell gunpowder

On 18 April, the United States used a veto to kidnap the Security Council and close the door to Palestinian "regularization."

But do you think the United States will win? If the Security Council is kidnapped by the United States, then the entire United Nations will be mobilized.

On May 10, the United Nations convened the 10th emergency special session, which adopted a resolution agreeing to Palestine becoming a full member of the United Nations, with 143 votes in favor, 9 votes against and 25 abstentions, which was an overwhelming victory for Palestine.

This mode of struggle can be summed up in one sentence: "encircling the Security Council with the General Assembly."

In accordance with the requirements of a so-called "veto initiative" adopted by the General Assembly, it is necessary for countries exercising veto power in the Council to submit the reasons and necessity for the exercise of the veto and to convene a formal meeting of the General Assembly within 10 working days to debate the veto votes cast by Council members.

To put it bluntly, this is a kind of check and balance between the UN General Assembly and the Security Council, in order to avoid the abuse of the veto, and the interesting thing is that this initiative is an initiative vigorously promoted by the United States in order to deal with Russia after the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, and now, this has become a boomerang and smashed on the heads of the Americans themselves, which can be regarded as a kind of karma.

Of course, as far as Palestine is concerned, the fact that the UN General Assembly agreed to its membership in the UN at an emergency session does not mean that the "regularization" has been successful, because the UN's requirement for the "regularization" of members is that the Security Council and the General Assembly meet the required number of votes at the same time. Therefore, the United Nations is to ignore the outcome of the Security Council resolution and to grant the rights and honor to Palestinian member states within the scope of the UN General Assembly's own capabilities, so that Palestine can have a status infinitely close to that of a full member of the United Nations.

Moreover, the General Assembly also lodged a "protest" against the Security Council and "recommended" that the Security Council reconsider the application of Palestine for membership in the United Nations from a favorable perspective.

In particular, the Chinese representative's speech was full of gunpowder.

The representative of China welcomed the adoption of the resolution, supported the Security Council's reconsideration of Palestine's application for membership in the United Nations, and hoped that the "countries concerned" would not continue to delay or erect obstacles in this regard. Since the arrangements will not be permanent, the State of Palestine will one day become a full Member of the United Nations and will enjoy full and equal rights with other Member States in the United Nations.

Considering the background of the war in Gaza, this emergency session of the UN General Assembly is a slap in the face of Israel and the United States in the face of the whole world.

So we see that the Israeli representative Erdan was incompetent and furious, took out a small paper shredder that had been prepared a long time ago, and performed on the spot "smashing the UN Charter" as a protest.

However, Farhan, deputy spokesman for the UN Secretary-General, pulled out another copy of the UN Charter: "It was just one copy, and there were many more Charters, such as this one, which were intact and the idea was not damaged." ”

After this incident, the United States may also realize that it is only a matter of time before Palestine is "turned positive." If the United States wants to stop it, the will of the international community will be backed by the will of the people, and how long can the United States stop it?
