On 11 December 2022, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. However, this resolution is only a moral requirement and does not have the power to enforce it. Therefore, Israel has not stopped its military operations in Gaza. In fact, even the month before, the Security Council adopted a similar resolution, which Israel did not comply. Despite Israel's clear military superiority, it also paid a huge price in this operation. Since the start of the ground operation, 115 Israeli servicemen have reportedly been killed in the fighting in Gaza, and 5,000 soldiers have been injured, 2,000 of whom have become disabled. Major Company Commander Meldasi of the 13th Battalion of the Gorani Brigade and Major Company Commander Ba'an of the 51st Battalion were killed in the battle. To make matters worse, Colonel Basat, the commander of Israel's elite mechanized infantry brigade, was killed in the attack, becoming the highest-ranking officer killed on the Gaza front. The Israeli military's losses, although small compared to Hamas, are still significant. In this context, Israel** should seriously consider a ceasefire, whether for the sake of reducing the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza or for complying with the requirements of the General Assembly resolution.
The actions of the Israeli army have caused many ** and disabled people in Gaza. These soldiers are the backbone of Israel, fighting to defend their homeland. They face great pressure and risks in battle, and for the sake of the country's security, they carry out their tasks without flinching. However, their sacrifices and efforts have not yielded the desired results, and Israel needs to seriously think and reflect on their strategies and actions.
Israel's indiscriminate bombardment in Gaza has resulted in more than 180,000 civilians have died and could trigger a humanitarian catastrophe. In addition, there is a risk that Israeli and Western hostages held by Hamas will be housed in underground tunnels. Such acts have drawn strong condemnation from countries in the Middle East and the international community, including even Israel's allies. For the first time, even Biden has issued a harsh criticism of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Biden believes that Israel's indiscriminate bombing will reduce global support for its war against Hamas. In fact, within Western countries, there is no longer a unity of opinion in support of Israel. In the General Assembly's vote on the ceasefire resolution, only eight small countries followed the United States and Israel in voting against. And many Western allies voted in favor of the US-Israeli position. Isn't Israel aware of this?Even Biden is anxious about their actions. U.S. *** adviser Jake Sullivan has already traveled to Saudi Arabia and Israel, perhaps this is a last resort. If Israel does not make a compromise, it is estimated that the United States will also significantly reduce its support for them.
Israel's actions have attracted widespread attention and criticism from the international community. Many countries are dissatisfied with Israel's military campaign against Gaza and accuse it of ignoring humanity and carrying out indiscriminate bombardments against civilians. Such acts have tarnished Israel's image in the international community and have led to a serious decline in its "international credibility". Israel's allies have also expressed disappointment and anger at its actions, arguing that Israel should act more restrained and targeted to ensure that the war does not cause more harm to civilians. In addition, it is not only Western countries that are worried about Israel's actions, but also many countries in the Middle East, who do not want this war to further exacerbate regional instability and instability.
In the face of criticism from the international community and the concerns of its allies, Israel should calm down and seriously review its actions. They should take into account the costs and consequences of military action, as well as the impact on international relations. The ceasefire is intended to reduce the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza and to comply with United Nations resolutions. Israel, as a Member State of the United Nations, should fulfil its international obligations, abide by the resolutions and take action to achieve peace and stability. At the same time, Israel should pay more attention to the interests of the population and humanitarianism, and avoid causing unnecessary harm to civilians. Only in this way can Israel achieve a better reputation in the international arena and achieve a genuine long-term peace.
Despite the adoption of UN resolutions calling for a ceasefire, Israel has not complied. The Israeli army's operations in Gaza have resulted in a large number of ** and disabilities, and it is also a heavy blow to the Israeli commanders. Israel's actions have been increasingly degraded in the international community, and have been condemned not only by countries in the Middle East, but also by Western allies. Israel should take a sober review of its actions and think carefully about the need for a ceasefire and the importance of complying with United Nations resolutions. Only in this way will Israel be able to re-establish its international reputation and contribute to the achievement of peace and stability.
