Regarding the Palestinian-Israeli ceasefire, the UN Security Council postponed the voting time seven times, and this time, again "at the request of the United States." * The report said that in order to circumvent the US veto, the whole world is waiting for the United States. However, what is the United States waiting for when it has been reluctant to show up and has postponed the voting on the draft resolution several times?Can the United States really afford to wait?
A few days ago, against the backdrop of the continued deterioration of the situation in Gaza, the UN Security Council once again postponed the voting time on the draft resolution on the Palestinian-Israeli issue. As soon as this news came out, it immediately triggered another round of crusade against the United States and Israel by the international community.
In order to avoid such risks and seek a balance between all parties and reach a compromise, the draft resolution submitted by the United Arab Emirates has already made some dilution of the wording of the draft, such as changing the original "demand" to "appeal" and "urgently cessating hostilities" to urgently "suspending" hostilities.
In other words, when all parties have already made certain "concessions" and believe that diplomacy needs time and the Palestinian-Israeli issue needs to be resolved step by step, the United States is still playing the most important game, ignoring the suffering that the people of Gaza are suffering, and ignoring the condemnation of the international community that it has suffered, and repeatedly postponed the vote
We have to look at this problem from three aspects. First of all, judging from the content of the draft resolution, although it has been revised many times after consultation among member states, from the perspective of Biden**, there is still a part worth their struggle, that is, the United Nations has established a monitoring mechanism in the Gaza Strip, which is specifically responsible for supervising all humanitarian relief materials transported in to ensure that the materials are used on the right path.
It stands to reason that such a mechanism, reasonable and legal, should not be a reason for postponing the vote, but the United States is worried that it will deprive Israel of control over the flow of goods into Gaza, which in turn will gradually affect the control of the situation by the United States and Israel.
But if I want to say, this kind of concern of the United States is actually a bit unnecessary. As far as the current situation is concerned, will the United States be able to completely control it?You know, in order to support Israel's actions, the United States has now formed a ten-nation maritime alliance to resolve the Red Sea shipping crisis. The gimmick is not small, but the splash is not big, the allies have taken a step back, and in the end, the only one who uses the top of the "ten-nation" fleet is the United States itself.
In other words, the United States is busy dealing with the Red Sea, the "second battlefield in the Middle East," and the United States has no hands at all to carry out this vote. On the other hand, the reason why the United States has to repeatedly postpone this vote is that the United States has another fatal problem, that is, how should this vote be cast?
It is true that as one of the P5, the United States certainly has a veto power, but in the current situation, when can the US veto power be used?How much effect can it have?These are all concerns for Biden. To put it bluntly, a veto is of course simple, but in response to the call of the international community, especially with the collective stance of China and the major Middle East powers, there must always be a result on the Palestinian-Israeli issue.
On the surface, the United Nations Security Council has postponed the vote many times, and the whole world is waiting for the United States, but in the final analysis, it is precisely many countries that are joining hands to smash the United States. Since the outbreak of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, it is not only peace and stability in the Middle East that has been torn apart, but also the geostrategic and hypocritical veil of the United States. For the "whole world", of course, we can wait and can afford to wait, but for the United States and Israel, the longer it drags on, the greater the trouble. Project Sword
