The Permanent Mission of the United States to the United Nations is the representative team of the United States** at the United Nations and is responsible for making representations and consultations on issues related to the United Nations. However, a recent incident occurred at the US Permanent Mission to the UN during a vote in the UN Security Council.
According to reports, on December 22, local time, the United Nations Security Council was ready to vote on a draft resolution submitted by the United Arab Emirates. The resolution calls for:Large-scale humanitarian assistance to the Palestinian civilian population in the Gaza Strip in an immediate, safe and unhindered manner and to create conditions for a continued cessation of hostilities。During the vote by show of hands, cameras from the scene captured Linda Thomas-Greenfield, the U.S. Permanent Representative to the United Nations, having raised her hand.
Surprisingly, however, her hand was brutally pressed down by a female staff member behind her. This situation has raised speculation and questions about the behavior and attitude of the United States Mission to the United Nations.
The questions raised by this incident focus on two main aspects. First of all, does this response represent the true will and position of the United States Permanent Mission to the United Nations?Secondly, why did this female clerk treat the American representative so roughly?
In this regard, this incident has been interpreted from many aspects.
First, which aspect of the "raised hand" or "raised hand pressed" of the US representative represents the truest will of the United States?
Second, the United States' attitude toward the Palestinian-Israeli situation and its future is uncertain, including but not limited to allowing Israel to do whatever it wants in the early stage, its current "limited" attitude and support, and its "willfulness" in suppressing Israel in the future and the borderless situation of military action.
Judging from the previous statements of the United States on the Palestinian-Israeli issueThe abstention vote has already been considered a "watershed" in the attitude of the United States, and if the United States supports it in this vote, it will be a complete departure from and contrary to the previous attitude of support for Israel.
There is also an attitude that Greenfield herself posted on her social media accounts, both before and after the vote, expressing support and welcome for the draft resolution and the resolution after its adoption. There are many people in the world who question that she is an elevated existence.
Who exactly is the permanent representative of the United States to the United Nations?Is it Greenfield, or is it the white female clerk behind her?
My netizen ridiculed: For the United States, this situation is normal, and the hands in the front desk are usually affected by the hands of the shadowless in the background. (Plagiarism and porterage are not allowed).
