With the United States unilaterally vetoing China's peace proposal on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the trend of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is destined to be that many countries will enter the war. This will be reflected not only in the growing number of military forces supporting the Palestinians, but also in the fact that Israeli supporters will inevitably move from behind the scenes to the forefront. Recently, the Houthis launched a second attack on Israeli ships passing through the Red Sea.
The U.S. military confirmed that the Houthis fired three anti-ship ballistic missiles and two cruise missiles, as well as 12 drones. However, these attacks were all shot down by the escorting US military and other armed forces. It was the largest attack by the Houthis since the Red Sea blockade was announced.
In this interception, not only Israel and the United States**, but Egypt, which has always remained neutral, also shot down a Houthi drone. This fully shows that the spillover risk of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is now increasing, and it is very likely that more countries will participate in this war.
Unlike the Russian-Ukrainian war, because the terrain of the Middle East is very complex, and there are many conflicts between various countries on various political, religious and other issues, once the Palestinian-Israeli conflict cannot be properly handled in a timely manner, then all countries in the region will be drawn into this war.
This is why China immediately called on both sides to exercise restraint and not allow the conflict to escalate immediately after the Palestinian-Israeli conflict began. Moreover, the main reason why China is still actively promoting peace talks. But with the involvement of the United States, the situation is now becoming more and more chaotic. For the United States, the more chaotic the Middle East, the better. The great rapprochement between Saudi Arabia and Iran at the beginning of the year has already displeased the United States, and now the United States wishes that the more countries involved in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the better.
The increasing number of countries involved in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict not only means that it will be increasingly difficult to mediate, but also that it is likely to lead to an even greater catastrophe, that is, the outbreak of world war. Especially in today's international situation, although the epidemic has passed, the economies of various countries have fallen into a quagmire, and even the United States is not so good.
In such a situation, there will certainly be people who want to use the war to destroy the existing international order in order to achieve their own goals. Once the number of countries involved in the war increases, it will be very difficult not only to resolve the contradictions between Palestine and Israel, but also to the contradictions between the participating countries to be irreconcilable.
It is not easy to keep the peace, because there are always people who want to draw people all over the world into a situation of war and turmoil. Therefore, it is not easy to cherish the hard-won peace.
