The recent Palestinian-Israeli conflict has attracted widespread attention around the world, and strong accusations have been made against Israel's actions. Against this backdrop, UN Secretary-General António Guterres has also finally taken action against Israel, ready to impose a ceasefire on Israel and negotiate in order to comply with the provisions of the UN Charter. However, Israel's supporter, the United States, used its veto power to stop the peace motion proposed by the United Nations, allowing Israel to escape for the time being. The Israeli Foreign Minister even issued a long message expressing his gratitude to the United States for the only negative vote. However, this joyous moment did not last long, and less than 72 hours later, Guterres urgently convened a resumed special session at the request of many countries, and finally more than 150 countries voted in favor and overwhelmingly passed a resolution calling for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. Although the United States also voted against it this time, it did not use a veto, which immediately caused widespread discussion.
Under international pressure, the UN's actions against Israel have gradually escalated. Secretary-General António Guterres is fully aware that the worldwide wave of accusations against Israel has reached a high point and is compelled to act. As a result, the United Nations is ready to impose a ceasefire and negotiate with Israel in order to maintain peace and stability in the region. Yet, while Guterres' efforts have won the support of people around the world, the United States, the backer of Israel, has used its veto power to block the passage of the peace bill. The move gave Israel a breather, and the United States was blamed for supporting Israel in destabilizing the Middle East. For Israel, however, the days of joy did not last long.
In the face of international pressure and the demands of many countries, Guterres had to urgently convene a resumption of the special session. In the end, the resolution calling for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in the Gaza Strip was overwhelmingly adopted by more than 150 countries. Although the United States once again voted against it, it did not use a veto, a move that caused widespread discussion. People are beginning to wonder why the United States is not continuing to use the veto this time"Protection"Israel?There may be more than one answer.
As an important ally of the United States in the Middle East, Israel has the full support of the United States. The United States supplies Israel with military equipment in countless quantities, even exceeding its own share of use in a year. According to sources, the number of artillery shells fired by Israel in recent times has almost exceeded the use of the US military, and in addition, the US Navy has deployed two aircraft carrier battle groups in the waters of the Middle East. In support of Israel, the United States even paid less attention to Ukraine, abandoning its interests in Europe. It can be said that Israel is very important to the United States and is a key to the United States' control of the Middle East"Chess pieces"。
However, despite Israel's importance in the eyes of the United States, the United States also has to face some realities and considerations. First, the attitude of most countries towards Israel has become extremely negative, and the United States should be clear that if they continue to use the one-vote veto, any proposal that is not conducive to Israel's interests will receive overwhelming support. Israel's actions have provoked intolerable outrage throughout the world. As the so-called"World Police"If the United States continues to endorse Israel, it will not only be excluded internationally, but may also trigger domestic public revolt. Second, the veto is not just a symbol of power, it also represents an identity. If the United States continues to insist on standing for Israel against the will of the whole world, then China and Russia are likely to act in a similar way and veto any bill proposed by the United States at the United Nations. At that point, the United States will not be able to move an inch in the United Nations, and the only option may be to withdraw. However, this will inevitably lead to a sharp decline in the global influence of the United States.
Expanding: The U.S. full support for Israel and the trade-offs actually lie behind a number of complex considerations. As an important ally of the United States in the Middle East, Israel enjoys strong support from the United States politically, militarily, and economically. The United States supplies Israel with military equipment in countless quantities, even exceeding its own share of use in a year. According to sources, the recent Israeli bombing campaign on the Gaza Strip has almost depleted their stockpile of artillery shells, and the number is almost more than the amount used by the US military in a year. In addition, the U.S. Navy has deployed two aircraft carrier battle groups in Middle East waters to safeguard Israel's interests.
However, despite Israel's extremely high strategic importance to the United States, the United States also has to face a series of practical problems and trade-offs. First, Israel's actions have been strongly condemned across the globe and have sparked outrage in countries around the world. If the United States continues to blindly support Israel, it will face isolation and criticism from the international community, and may even lead to the ** of the domestic people. As one of the most important countries in the world, the United States has to consider the impact of these factors on the country's image and domestic stability. Second, the veto is not only a symbol of power, but also represents a country's status and reputation in the international community. If the United States continues to take a hard line on Israel's behavior and refuses to comply with the call of the international community, then China and Russia are likely to act in a similar way, responding by vetoing the bill proposed by the United States at the United Nations. At that point, the United States will not be able to make any important decisions within the United Nations and may face isolation from the international community. This not only poses a threat to U.S. interests in the Middle East, but could also weaken U.S. influence around the world.
In the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, China has made positive contributions. Last month, China assumed the rotating presidency of the United Nations and played an important mediating role. China initiated and promoted the first Security Council resolution to mediate the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which brought the world together to work together to curb the expansion of the war. China's efforts have not been in vain.
