Germany's Steinmeier's trip to the Middle East encountered an unprecedented "accident", which made people call it "a public humiliation of Germany". On November 29, after his special plane arrived in Qatar, he stayed in the seat for half an hour, but no one greeted him in the face of an expected grand reception. The Qatari side laid out the red carpet and the military honor queue, but there was no ** to greet them, only reporters and staff.
This sudden scene shocked the audience and **, and Steinmeier stood at the door of the cabin for half an hour, looking displeased. At this time, he may be able to resolve the embarrassment, sit back in the cabin for a while, and wait for ** to arrive. Eventually, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Qatar arrived late to accompany Steinmeier to meet the King of Qatar.
This incident has aroused global attention, and there has been speculation about whether Qatar made a mistake or deliberately. But looking at the whole scenario, Qatar's tardiness seems more like a deliberate expression of dissatisfaction with Germany's position on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Germany is a staunch opponent of terrorism, but its criticism of Qatar's long-standing support for Hamas has provoked displeasure in Qatar. The setback of Steinmeier's trip may have been a response to Germany's pro-Israel position on the Israeli-Palestinian issue. Although Steinmeier traveled to Qatar, he spent only three hours on the ground during the trip, reflecting Qatar's dissatisfaction with Germany's position in international politics.
As the largest economy in the European Union, Germany has not achieved a high status in international politics, despite its strong economy. Germany sided with Israel, causing discontent in a number of Arab countries. Turkey** Erdogan has accused Germany of "original sin" against the Jews, but Turkey owes nothing to the Jews. Germany, although economically powerful, still plays the role of a puppet of the United States in international politics.
This incident shows that Germany may be a little self-sufficient if it wants to act as a mediator or mediator in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Unless Germany is soberly aware of its true place in international politics, self-esteem and conceit may bring more embarrassment.
