After a month and a half of Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the death toll exceeded 1After 50,000 men, the parties finally brokered a four-day "temporary truce" with a hostage exchange. Although this agreement was welcomed by Biden in the United States, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made it clear that a "temporary truce" does not amount to a "ceasefire" and that Israel will continue its military operation to completely eliminate Hamas. From this statement, it can be seen that Israel is somewhat reluctant to accept this "temporary truce."
Since the outbreak of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, Israel has been showing an attitude of pride and arrogance. In a statement at the latest closed-door meeting of the Security Council, Israel's Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Erdan, attacked UN Women with vicious remarks, bluntly saying that "you are so shameless". Such remarks aroused the displeasure of Ambassador Zhang Jun, China's permanent representative to the United Nations, who immediately stopped and reminded Erdan to maintain a minimum of respect. This scene is clearly visible in **, Erdan looked a little stunned after being stopped, but after listening to Ambassador Zhang Jun's reminder, he obviously calmed down. As the rotating presidency of the Security Council, China cannot sit idly by and watch Israel's ranting behavior, and must take this as a warning to make adjustments. In addition, Ambassador Zhang Jun's reminder is also completely correct, international conferences should abide by the basic rules of respect, especially as a person representing a country, should pay more attention to their words and deeds.
Israel often causes humanitarian disasters, and the international community is well aware of that. In the latest round of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, Israel imposed measures on Gaza to cut off water, electricity, food and electricity, and cut off the Internet, forcing 1.1 million people in northern Gaza to move south, and then bombing the south to demand the evacuation of people. Israel has also repeatedly bombed residential areas, hospitals, refugee camps and schools in Gaza, resulting in the loss of a large number of civilians, especially children, reaching 5,500. The information from the United Nations agencies to Gaza shows that there is no security zone in Gaza today, and there is no safe place in the entire area. These acts demonstrate Israel's disregard for humanitarianism.
The international community's dissatisfaction with and condemnation of Israel's actions can be clearly felt in the statements made by States. Although China has maintained a neutral stance, it has made clear that Israel's actions have "gone beyond the scope of self-defense." France's Macron, who was originally on the side of Israel, said that "babies, women, and the elderly were all killed, and there is no reason for Israel to do so." Turkey's Erdogan even said that Israel's actions are not like state acts, but more like "some organization", and directly called Israel a terrorist state. UN Secretary-General António Guterres has also repeatedly condemned Israel's actions in Gaza and believes that they may be suspected of "war crimes". Israel's behavior in the international arena has lost the trust of the majority of countries.
While Israel may have won militarily in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, it is facing a defeat politically. Their actions have caused them to lose the support and trust of most countries. Although Israel's Western ally is primarily the United States, even the United States ** Biden has reminded Israel to abide by the rules of war. When the "ceasefire" resolution was adopted by the United General Assembly, more than 90% of Western countries chose to abstain rather than support Israel. France even voted in favor and sided with Israel. In contrast to Israel, the countries in the Middle East that oppose Israel are unanimous, and they demand an investigation into Israel for "war crimes" and "crimes". Neutral countries, such as China and Russia, have repeatedly condemned Israel's punitive actions against civilians, although they have not directly named them. So, even though Israel has achieved a certain military victory, they have fallen into a defeat politically.
If Israel is to be respected by other countries, it must first respect others. Their frequent humanitarian disasters have been recognized by the international community. Although Israel's Western allies have not completely abandoned them, they have also clearly expressed their dissatisfaction with Israel's actions. Their actions have caused Israel to lose the trust and support of most countries. As a country, Israel needs to reflect on its behavior and re-examine its foreign policy. Only by taking respect as the principle can we win the recognition and respect of the international community.
