At the 10th emergency special session of the UN General Assembly, an important resolution was finally adopted on the issue of a ceasefire between the Palestinians and Israelis. The resolution stresses the importance of ensuring the safety of civilians, implementing a humanitarian ceasefire and unconditionally releasing hostages, and calls on all parties to ensure humanitarian access. The results of this vote showed that a total of 153 countries voted in favor, 10 countries voted against, and 23 countries abstained, which was overwhelmingly approved.
However, the United States was once again the only country to vote against it. The representative of the United States noted that the resolution ignored many of the claims made by the United States and did not condemn Hamas. The move has caused strong controversy in the international community. At the end of the vote, there was thunderous applause, but the representatives of Israel and the United States indifferently bowed their heads and played with their mobile phones.
After the adoption of the resolution, the General Assembly also voted on two amendments, which, regrettably, did not receive a two-thirds vote in favour.
It is noteworthy that the day before the vote in the General Assembly, representatives of 13 Security Council delegations, in addition to the United States and France, visited the Rafah crossing on the border between Egypt and the Gaza Strip. Their purpose is to understand the reality of humanitarian assistance in Gaza and how to deliver relief more effectively in complex situations.
During the inspection of the Rafah port, the delegates visited the port and material warehouses and other important facilities, and listened to relevant reports. They have experienced first-hand the current plight and urgent needs of the Gaza Strip. China's permanent representative to the United Nations, Zhang Jun, said during the inspection that all this should be done in moderation. He pointed out that although all parties have made great efforts to maintain peace, the Security Council has more responsibilities and obligations.
The Palestinian-Israeli conflict has lasted far too long, bringing great suffering and losses to both sides of the Palestinian and Israeli sides. The international community has been trying to find a solution to this problem. However, in the process of resolving the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, there are still many differences and conflicts of interest between the parties.
First, the issue of a ceasefire is the key to resolving the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. During the conflict, the lives and property of civilians were seriously threatened, and humanitarian assistance could not be effectively delivered, which brought difficulties to the stability and development of both sides and the region. Therefore, it is inevitable for the international community to demand an immediate ceasefire between the parties and to implement a humanitarian ceasefire.
Secondly, the root cause of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is a complex historical and political issue. Territorial disputes, security issues, humanitarian aid and other disputes between the two countries are intertwined, making it extremely difficult to resolve them. Therefore, all parties must remain calm and rational, resolve differences through dialogue and negotiation, and respect each other's interests and legitimate rights and interests.
Finally, the international community should play a greater role in helping both Palestine and Israel achieve peace and development. In addition to providing humanitarian assistance and economic support, mediation and mediation mechanisms should be strengthened to promote dialogue and cooperation between Palestine and Israel. Only through joint efforts can we achieve the goal of peace between Palestine and Israel and bring about a better life for the Palestinian and Israeli people.
In short, for the settlement of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the international community must not stop at a superficial ceasefire, but need to resolve the fundamental issues in depth and achieve long-term peace and stability through dialogue and cooperation. At the same time, in order to ensure the smooth delivery of humanitarian assistance, all parties should strengthen cooperation and provide the necessary security guarantees. Only in this way can we bring true peace and development to the Palestinian and Israeli peoples.
