At the beginning of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, Israel began to unilaterally ** the people in Gaza, and the Western countries led by the United States changed from supporting Israel to condemning, the United States obviously did not realize the seriousness of the matter at this time, and for its own strategic interests, chose to ignore the atrocities committed by Israel and insisted on standing by Israel's side, but I did not expect that the more time passed, the more serious Israel's behavior became, and by now, Israel has almost begun to carry out genocide against the Palestinian people.
It stands to reason that the United States cares most about its own status and image, and in today's extremely unfavorable situation for Israel, the United States will generally get out directly, but I never expected that the United States would not choose to stand by Israel's side until the recent G20 foreign ministers' summit, and even opposed an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. This was met with collective criticism from the international community, and there was a rare scenario of "isolating the United States" at the G20 foreign ministers' summit.
According to a February 24 report, this year's G20 foreign ministers' meeting was held in Brazil, and the Brazilian foreign minister, as the host, took the lead in condemning the Security Council because the United States once again vetoed the Security Council's resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. It is worth mentioning that this is the third time that the United States has cast its only negative vote, which means that the United States has single-handedly blocked the ceasefire of the three Gaza wars. In this regard, the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Brazil believes that this state of inaction on the part of the Council will lead to the loss of innocent lives.
Australia's foreign minister, a close ally of the United States, strongly condemned Israel at the summit and strongly supported the ceasefire in Gaza, and the representative of South Africa made the same statement. Needless to say, Blinken must have blushed a lot during this period, and watching his allies oppose him one by one, the sense of shame in his heart will naturally not be less.
However, what we admire is that Blinken turned the phone and pointed the finger at Russia, enlisting his allies to criticize Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov a lot. In the end, Lavrov almost couldn't even return home in Brazil, because his special plane was refused to be refueled by Brazilian gas stations, saying that he was afraid of being sanctioned by the United States, and in the end, Lavrov's special plane may have to fly to nearby countries friendly to Russia to refuel before he can come back to pick up Lavrov back home.
