In 2023, the world situation will change, and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict in the Middle East will escalate again, which has aroused widespread concern from the international community. And behind this conflict, the game and interests of the major powers are intertwined, and the undercurrent is surging.
Putin visited Israel in March 2023 for talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, expressing support for Israel's security and territorial integrity, while calling on both sides to exercise restraint and refrain from further violence. Putin's visit was seen as a diplomatic victory for Russia in the Middle East, demonstrating Russia's influence and balance.
However, the UAE, on behalf of the Arab countries, submitted a draft resolution to the UN Security Council, asking the Council to "spare no effort" to push for an "immediate achieve" humanitarian ceasefire between Palestine and Israel and to "do everything possible to end the suffering of the people of Gaza." This move undoubtedly fed the United States a "rat droppings", disrupted the strategic layout of the United States in the Middle East, and also put tremendous pressure on Israel.
The United States has always been a staunch ally of Israel, and its attitude toward the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is also biased toward Israel. U.S. Biden visited Israel in February 2023 and said the U.S. would continue to support Israel's "right to self-defense" and pledged more military assistance. The United States has also repeatedly obstructed the UN Security Council's discussion and vote on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict in order to protect Israel's interests.
However, this practice of the United States has met with strong opposition and condemnation from the international community, which holds that the United States is conniving at Israel's atrocities, ignoring the suffering of the Palestinian people, and sabotaging the process of peace in the Middle East. The image and credibility of the United States in the Middle East have also been seriously damaged.
At the same time, China and Russia have taken advantage of this opportunity to strengthen their influence and cooperation in the Middle East, establish closer relations with Arab countries, and open up new space for their own economic and security interests. China, Russia and other countries also supported the draft resolution proposed by the UAE at the UN Security Council, showing sympathy and support for the Palestinian people and winning the respect and praise of the international community.
As a permanent member of the UN Security Council, China has been actively participating in and promoting the peaceful settlement of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, and advocates the peaceful coexistence of Palestine and Israel through political dialogue and negotiation and the maintenance of stability and development in the Middle East.
China has also provided a large amount of humanitarian assistance to the Palestinians, including medical supplies, food and water, to alleviate the plight of the Palestinian people. China has also used its own diplomatic channels to communicate and coordinate with Israel, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and other countries, promoting understanding and trust among all parties and creating favorable conditions for the easing of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
China has also played a constructive role in the UN Security Council, supporting the draft resolution proposed by the UAE and calling on all parties to achieve a ceasefire as soon as possible to protect the lives and property of civilians. These measures by China are undoubtedly a "mending" to the United States, demonstrating China's sense of responsibility as a major country, and also embodying China's concept of peaceful development and win-win cooperation.
As soon as Putin left, the UAE fed the United States "rat droppings" and China took the opportunity to "mend the knife", which is a complex game involving the interests and influence of many parties, and it is also a severe challenge to test the diplomatic wisdom and capabilities of various countries.
It is hoped that the Palestinian-Israeli conflict will end at an early date, peace and prosperity will be restored in the Middle East, and all countries will be able to jointly uphold international order and justice and contribute to the well-being and progress of mankind.
