The Palestinians and Israelis reached a temporary ceasefire agreement, but the resumption of the ceasefire was announced this morning, and the Gaza Strip continues to be ravaged by fighting. The United Nations is also actively pushing for a longer ceasefire, while the General Assembly has adopted a bill on Israel by a large margin.
A few days ago, in the latest round of voting, the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution on Israel's withdrawal from the Syrian Golan Heights by 91 votes in favor, 62 abstentions, and 8 votes against. The resolution also calls for the resumption of peace talks between Syria and Lebanon and the respect for the commitments reached at previous meetings.
The Golan Heights were originally Syrian land, which Israel forcibly took control of and occupied during the Third Middle East War. After the Fourth Middle East War, the two sides disengaged in the Golan Heights. In 1974, the United Nations forces took over the Golan Heights and sent troops, but since then they have been repeatedly attacked by extremist forces and have had to choose to withdraw.
Israel seized the opportunity to declare its sovereignty over the Golan Heights, but the United Nations considered Israel to be forcibly occupying it, and over the years, the UN General Assembly has passed bills on the Golan Heights more than once, but Israel has refused to implement them, resulting in long-term hostile relations between Syria and Israel.
Israel occupies this place because it is a strategic place stuck between Syria, Israel and Jordan, known as the "Middle East Water Tower", where 800 millimeters of annual precipitation comes from, and 40% of Israel's water comes from here. In the barren land of the Middle East, the importance of such abundant water in the Golan Heights can be imagined.
In addition, the Golan Heights can overlook Israel from a commanding position, and occupying it will not only deter other countries, but also ensure Israel's expansion of Israeli territory. Based on these factors, Israel has encroached on 1,200 kilometers of the 1,800-kilometre area of the Golan Heights.
By calling on Israel to withdraw from the Golan Heights, the UN General Assembly is actually supporting Syria and does not want to see Israel continue to bully the weak and be arrogant and domineering. The tragic situation of the Palestinians in the current round of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is the most direct manifestation of Israel's nature. If Israel's misdeeds are allowed to go unchecked, the Golan Heights will eventually become the same predicament as the Gaza Strip.
Israel pursues the law of the jungle, but as far as the model of the entire international community is concerned, peace is still the main theme, and although a big fist can occupy more interests, this kind of brutal behavior of ** civilians, encroachment on the territory of other countries, and even genocide is unacceptable to the international community.
If Israel continues to be tyrannical and domineering, then Israel will be isolated from the whole world, and how long will Israel, which relies only on US support, last?
