The United States has been providing support to Israel, and Ambassador Burns recently spoke at a conference about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the "role" of China and the United States in it. He believes that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict needs to be resolved by the United States, not China. In this regard, China has corrected the US side's perception of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict with the most crucial nine words. It is reported that Burns publicly stated on the 15th of this month that although all countries in the world are paying attention to this conflict, including China, the United States shoulders the heavy responsibility of resolving this conflict compared to other countries. As for China, Burns believes that while China has paid attention to and put forward relevant proposals to deal with it, which will help increase China's influence in the Middle East, it is still necessary to rely on the United States to resolve this conflict. Because Burns's rhetoric seems a little overconfident, he seems to have come to see the United States as the only force to resolve the problems between Palestine and Israel.
His sudden mention of China and his belief that China is helping to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian issue in order to expand its influence in the region is clearly biased and that China simply cannot help solve these problems. This statement is in line with what US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has previously said to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Blinken told the other side that Israel is strong enough, but the United States will always be there to help, and Israel will never be "isolated." During his visit in October, Biden called the United States a "true partner" of Israel and pledged to do everything possible to provide it with assistance to help Israel win. This shows that the United States** believes that it occupies a key position in resolving this conflict, that Israel cannot afford to lose their help, and that the help provided by other countries is only a small thing. In this regard, China's spokesman Wang Wenbin responded to Burns from two aspects.
First of all, the Chinese side has repeatedly stressed that it does not engage in small circles and does not seek personal gain. Therefore, China's help to promote friendly coexistence among countries in the Middle East, including promoting dialogue between Saudi Arabia and Iran, is aimed at encouraging countries in the Middle East to unite and strengthen themselves and promote the peaceful development of the regional situation. Second, as far as the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is concerned, China has been campaigning for a peaceful settlement of relevant issues between the Palestinians and Israelis. Wang Wenbin said that China has put forward a variety of proposals for resolving the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. These programmes include consultations with representatives from more than 20 countries and international organizations to find a solution;Push for the adoption of a ceasefire resolution at the UN Security Council;and always pay attention to the humanitarian crisis in the Palestinian-Israeli region, and provide food, medicine and other relief materials in a timely manner. Wang Wenbin also emphasized China's three-point approach to implementing the two-state solution to the Palestinian issue. In addition, China firmly supports the Palestinians and Israelis in determining their own destiny independently.
This position is not only a reminder to the Palestinian issue, but also a reminder to both Palestine and Israel, and more importantly, a response to the United States. The United States claims to be Israel's supporters, believing that only they can help Israel solve its current predicament. However, the United States claims to support the two-state solution, but it does not abide by the principles of fairness and justice and favors Israel. In 2012, the United States vetoed Palestine's proposal to become a "member of the United Nations" as it sought international status. In addition, the United States acquiesced in Israel's interference in the Palestinian National Authority's electoral activities and turned a blind eye to the impact of Israel's unilateral blockade of Gaza. It can be said that without the support and connivance of the United States, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict may not escalate. After the outbreak of the conflict, Biden repeatedly provided Israel with equipment and asked Congress to pass a $106 billion aid package for Israel, which seemed to solve the problem, but in fact added fuel to the fire.
Whether it is Israel or Palestine, their fate should be decided by themselves, and China's position tells the United States not to interfere in the problems between countries in the Middle East for the sake of selfish interests, and the final decision should be made by both Palestine and Israel.
