After Putin's visit to the Middle East, the situation in the Middle East began to change. Three days ago, we mentioned that Putin's visit to the Middle East would have an impact on the bigger picture, and sure enough, Putin's actions are starting to show their impact. The Jerusalem Post quoted Iran's foreign minister as saying that Iran refused to recognize the two-state solution, stressing that Israel is an outsider and cannot decide the fate of the Palestinian areas, but can only be decided by the descendants of the settlers in the area before 1948. In addition, Iran directly accuses Israel of being the first person of the United States and should not be considered an independent state. This remark has attracted the attention of the outside world. Iran's position is actually a denial of Israel's legitimacy, a denial of Israel's sovereignty and territorial scope, which is quite a radical position. In a sense, Iran's proposal is actually a denial of Israel's existence, a manifestation of its hostility towards Israel and its intention to eliminate it. The realization of this proposal, both from the point of view of the United States and the Western bloc, and from the point of view of Israel, can only be decided by a full-scale war. We mentioned earlier that despite the rapprochement that Iran and Saudi Arabia have made, neither side has given up on their ambitions. Iran wants to be the leader of the entire Islamic world, including the Arab world. Saudi Arabia, on the other hand, is committed to seeking a stable external environment in order to achieve the goal of industrial modernization. In dealing with the Palestinian-Israeli issue, Iran has responded more to the voices and ideas of the people in the Middle East, while Saudi Arabia hopes to suppress the development of the situation as much as possible and does not want to be involved, so as to provide Saudi Arabia with space and time for development. Iran's public statement this time is to compete for popular support and prestige. While it's not clear what exactly Iran and Russia discussed during this visit, at least judging by the results, we can be sure that more military orders have been reached. Russia has paid a huge price on the Ukraine issue and equally wants to bleed the United States on the Palestinian-Israeli issue. Iran's position and ambitions could become an important strategic goal for Russia. However, China's efforts to maintain neutrality in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and its unequivocal support for the two-state solution have given China some awkward position to a certain extent. Iran's statement appears to be a departure from China's position and poses some challenges. Overall, however, the consensus of China, Russia, and Iran to unite against the United States and the Western bloc remains dominant. For China, dragging the United States into the Middle East will do more good than harm. Still, it is undeniable that this could create new contradictions for the Saudi and Iranian forces, which are just moving towards reconciliation.
The Iranian foreign minister's statement directly named Israel as the region's leader in the United States, and this remark has aroused widespread attention. As we all know, Israel has always maintained close relations with the United States, which has provided support and assistance in many ways. Iran's accusations are actually calling into question Israel's independence and sovereignty. Iran believes that Israel should not be seen as a real state, but as the best person of the United States in the Middle East. Such accusations have undoubtedly brought a certain degree of pressure and challenge to Israel. To break this doubt, Israel needs to prove its independence and sovereignty through its own actions. At the same time, Israel will need to seek broader international support to balance the pressure on it from Iran and other countries.
After Iran's statement, China's position in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict has been affected to a certain extent. Israel has repeatedly made inappropriate remarks about China and launched a cognitive war on the Chinese field, which has provoked a fierce reaction from China. In response, China has publicly declared that it is fully consistent with the position of the Arab countries and supports the "two-state solution". Iran's statement this time is tantamount to dismantling China's position on the Palestinian-Israeli issue. For China, however, the impact of this dismantling is not too severe, as the consensus of China, Russia, and Iran to confront the United States and the Western bloc still exists. Being able to contain the United States in the Middle East is a thing that will do more harm than good for China. Although Iran's statement has caused some trouble to China, it does not change China's position on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
After Iran's statement, the situation in the Middle East has undergone new changes. Iran's position and ambitions for Israel pose a challenge to the stability of the Middle East region. At the same time, cooperation between Iran and Russia and an increase in military orders have also created uncertainty about the situation in the Middle East. The Middle East world will face more tensions and potential conflicts. The contradictions between Saudi Arabia and Iran are likely to re-intensify, which poses new challenges to the stability and security of the Middle East region. For China, it also requires a more cautious approach to Middle East affairs, striving to balance the interests of all parties and safeguard its own core interests.
Putin's trip to the Middle East did bring a series of variables, the most notable of which was Iran's statement. Iran's refusal to recognize Israel's legitimacy and accuse Israel of being the region's leader in the United States has had an impact on Israel's position. Iran's position has created a certain conflict with China's position, but it has not changed the consensus of the two countries to jointly counter the United States and the Western bloc. However, the changes in the situation in the Middle East cannot be ignored, and the cooperation between Iran and Russia, as well as the increase in military orders, have brought uncertainty to the stability of the region. Tensions in the Middle East have increased the contradictions between Saudi Arabia and Iran, which pose a certain threat to China's interests and security. Therefore, China needs to be more cautious in handling Middle East affairs, and strive to balance the interests of all parties and safeguard its core interests. At the same time, the changes in the situation in the Middle East have also reminded the international community that it is necessary to strengthen cooperation, promote the peaceful settlement of problems in the Middle East, and maintain regional stability and development.
