In the smoke of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, Israel is facing an unprecedented crisis. This is not due to Hamas's rocket raids, nor is it Hezbollah's drone harassment, but from a global encirclement: diplomatic isolation, moral condemnation, institutional exclusion and alliance disintegration. Multiple pressures are intertwined, making the former Middle East The little bully truly felt the pain of survival for the first time. As a result, within 24 hours, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu named China and Qatar three times, with a hasty tone and rare density. It was not so much a diplomatic "complaint" as a helpless "call for help". Israel, which once dominated the Middle East stage, is now facing the risk of being "invited out of the poker table".
Qatar, the often underestimated small country in the Middle East, is the first to strike a deadly blow to Israel, with a three-line power in energy, media, and finance to hit Israel directly. For example, in the energy sector, Qatar holds the world’s third-largest natural gas reserves, and Europe’s LNG supply depends on it. It can be said that once Qatar clearly links energy exports to Israel’s diplomatic stance, the EU’s strong voice against Israel will rise to an index level, and Israel’s energy security foundations in the western camp will be shaken.
In the media battlefield, for example, the Peninsula TV covered the 3,5 billion Arab-speaking population, its English channel has far more influence in the Western intellectual community than CNN. Continuously broadcasting images of Gaza civilian casualties, is breaking the western politics of “Israel is not harmful” correctly. Or at the financial level, the Qatar Investment Bureau has a sovereign wealth fund of $4500 billion, and has long been in the Western financial infrastructure such as the German Bank, the London Stock Exchange, Swiss Credit. If Qatar pushed the shareholders’ proposal of “sanctions to Israel”, Wall Street would be a rat tick on the policy, Israel’s financial stability would face serious challenges.
But unthinkably, in the face of the trouble, Netanyahu would choose to take China and Qatar as the "outlet." Three times in 24 hours, claiming that China's relevant media platforms appeared critical and unfriendly voices against Israel, accusing China and Qatar of using Western social media to launch a cognitive war against Israel, and even rumored that China and Qatar have not achieved the goal of isolating Israel. But it needs to be clear that China's position is not "anti-Israel", but a firm "anti-war" and "anti-double".
In summary, China has neither provided any party with killing weapons, nor organized a “volunteer army” to enter, nor has it vetoed a ceasefire proposal in the United Nations like some countries.Israel has distorted the sympathy of Chinese netizens into official incitement, but replicated the old pattern of the United Nations: not willing to face international justice, and accused others of “manipulating the public opinion”.Netanyahu’s 24-hour “three-seat strike” is but an abbreviation of Israeli society’s collective anxiety.They are not afraid of Hamas’ rocket bombs, but fear the globe’s Z-generation’s fingers on TikTok; they are not afraid of the real party’s way, but afraid of the International Court
The real “pain” is not named by anyone, but abandoned by the times. If Israel is still addicted to military crushing and the old scenario of the U.S. backbone, then the next time it cries “China, Qatar is isolating me,” its response may not be a diplomatic statement, but a blue-and-white flag on the UN General Assembly lifting the banner slowly down. At that moment, the survival crisis is Israel’s real. The answer is not in Beijing, not in Doha, but in Jerusalem’s own hands.
