Since October 2023, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict has intensified, and the Gaza region has been ravaged by war, seriously threatening civilian lives. The continued veto behavior of the United States has brought the draft resolution of the United Nations Security Council to an impasse. In the face of the deterioration of the situation, the UN Security Council has held several meetings to try to mediate in this regard, but without success.
The draft resolution of the UN Security Council, which has repeatedly called for a ceasefire, has been vetoed by the United States four times, triggering strong dissatisfaction in the international community. U.S. Representative to the United Nations Linfield claimed that they vetoed the draft because they believed it would not lead to a lasting peace. He referred to the Israeli-Hamas ceasefire talks between the United States, Egypt and Qatar as a key element in achieving a permanent peace.
However, this statement does not correspond to the facts. Israel and Hamas remain at odds over key issues such as the release of the hostages. What is particularly worrying is that Israel has taken a tough stance and taken extreme measures against Hamas.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu even issued a "kill order,"Hamas is required to release all hostages by 10 March, or face a ground military operation in Gaza. In the meantime, Israel has launched several days of airstrikes and artillery shelling on Rafah in Gaza, causing a large number of civilians**.
Rafah is an important base for Hamas and an important hub for external connections. Refugees from Gaza gather here, and this is the main way for Hamas to obtain external support and assistance from the international community. Israel's control of Rafah will give it a greater say in future dialogues with Hamas and the international community.
On the other hand,The realization of Palestinian-Israeli peace is inseparable from the "two-state solution" proposed by China, that is, Israel recognizes the Palestinian regime and realizes the peaceful coexistence of two countries. However, the Knesset has voted against unilateral recognition of the Palestinian state, which has put the Palestinian-Israeli negotiations in a difficult position.
In the face of this situation, the international community generally believes that the negative attitude of the United States has become one of the main reasons for the deterioration of the situation. China's stance in this conflict has attracted much attention, and many people expect China to play a more active role in the international arena and contribute to the resolution of the Middle East issue.
This chain of events has raised concerns about the future of Gaza, where fighting continues and peace remains elusive. Since October 2023, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict has been escalating, and the Gaza region has fallen into a situation of war.

Under the strong appeal of the international community,The UN Security Council has tried to broker an immediate humanitarian ceasefire through a draft resolution, but the continued US veto has made that goal elusive. In the face of the serious threat to the lives and basic human rights of residents in Gaza, the international community has expressed its dissatisfaction and concern over the actions of the United States.
Greenfield's remarks, while trying to defend the U.S. position, appear untenable in the face of facts. Differences between Israel and Hamas remain, combined with Israel's intransigence, have led to an impasse in the negotiations. Netanyahu's "nirvana" order has added fuel to the fire and made the situation in Gaza even worse.
Rafah's position has become increasingly critical and at the heart of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Its role as a base for Hamas and a conduit for external communication has led the Israeli side to launch military operations against it. The Knesset's opposition has further exacerbated tensions between Palestine and Israel.
Against this backdrop, the international community is paying more attention to China's attitude. As a permanent member of the UN Security Council, China's statements and actions will have an important impact on the settlement of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. People expect China to play a more active role in the Middle East issue and inject new impetus into the peace process.
However, with the further deterioration of the situation,The prospects for peace in Gaza remain bleak. The fighting continues, and countless innocent civilians have suffered. The humanitarian crisis in Gaza is becoming more and more serious, and the international community needs to work together to find a solution to it.
