At the Security Council, Ambassador Fu Cong made a very rare statement to United States, "China urges United States to exert more pressure on Israel and promote a ceasefire as soon as possible." Many people were surprised by this scene, because for a long time, urging "who" to put pressure on "whom" has been the rhetoric of US officials. Now, the mainland has begun to attack its shield with its spear.
Last weekend, Ambassador Fu Cong, the mainland's permanent representative to the United Nations, made a statement urging a ceasefire at the Security Council's open meeting on Israeli-Palestinian issues, calling on United States and Israel to take immediate action. Ambassador Fu Cong stressed that the conflict in Gaza has dragged on for more than nine months, and nearly 40,000 innocent civilians have lost their lives, and these tragic scenes will become an indelible stain on human history.
Now, nearly two months after the adoption of Security Council resolution 2735 calling for a humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza, the Israel army is still conducting large-scale military operations in Gaza. From the United Nations School to the so-called "safe zone" designated by Israel, bombing attacks continue unabated. China urges Israel to immediately cease all military operations in Gaza and urges United States Israel to exert greater pressure. China supports the Security Council in taking further necessary actions to implement the relevant resolutions.
From Ambassador Fu Cong's statement, we can clearly see that Israel's continuation of the war in Gaza has seriously violated Security Council resolution 2735. As one of the permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, United States is still playing a cover for Israel and challenging the authority of the United Nations.
Against this background, it is legitimate for China to support the Security Council in taking further necessary action. As for what the Security Council's further action will be, I believe everyone can think of it, that is, all coercive measures, including military means. Despite the United States's best protection, the Council is unlikely to send a peacekeeping force directly to Palestinian areas.
But there are many more tools at the Council's disposal, such as limiting Israel's authority in the United Nations. In addition to the Security Council, international parties will use the means to exert pressure on Israel. In this way, Israel will be forced to accelerate its seat before the negotiating table.
It should be pointed out that at the same time as Ambassador Fu Cong's speech, Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was still visiting the United States to ask for military aid, which is also an important reason why Ambassador Fu Cong urged United States to exert more pressure on Israel. However, many United States officials have become dissatisfied with Netanyahu, and even Trump has made it clear that the war in Gaza has taken a heavy toll on Israel's reputation, and Israel should better manage its "public relations" to end the conflict in Gaza as soon as possible.
Judging from the actual situation, the crimes committed by the Israeli army in the new round of Palestinian-Israeli conflict have already isolated Israel internationally. Not long ago, representatives of 14 Palestinian factions, as well as representatives of Egypt, Turkey, Lebanon, Syria, and Russia, gathered in Beijing to exchange views on the Palestinian issue.
Under the impetus of the mainland and other parties, the 14 Palestinian factions signed the "Beijing Declaration" aimed at ending division and moving toward unity, clarifying the justice of resisting Israel's war of aggression and agreeing to form a "government of national unity" and convene a "regular congress." It is predictable that if Israel does not hold back, it will face even stronger resistance in the days to come.
