No one could have imagined that Israel’s harsh operations in the Middle East would suddenly see a collective rebellion.
Just recently, 57 Arab and Islamic countries gathered in Qatar to reach a consensus and unanimously criticize Israel's military actions.
Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu not only did not ease the situation, but instead suddenly turned his head against China at a domestic conference, causing even greater shock.
And as the situation ferments, the situation in Israel becomes increasingly embarrassing, and there are really few countries willing to remain on its side except the United States.
This turning point indicates that the pattern of the Middle East is quietly changing. Whether it is a diplomatic mistake or a misjudgment of the situation, Israel has really fallen into unprecedented isolation this time.
57 countries rarely speak out collectively, and Israel becomes the target of public criticism
This "denunciation meeting" took place in Doha, the capital of Qatar. 57 countries from the Islamic world and the Arab League unanimously pointed the finger at Israel.
Their attitude is clear: they believe that Israeli military actions have crossed the bottom line, not only making the situation in the region more tense, but also directly putting security pressure on many countries.
In the past, there were often disagreements between these countries, especially in the Middle East, where their positions and interests were very different, but this time there was rarely a situation of “co-operation.”
The reasons behind this are not complicated, as Israel has repeatedly launched military strikes on neighboring countries, and the war has even spread to the vicinity of Qatar.
This approach made many countries feel threatened and uneasy, so a collective discussion on "how to deal with Israel" quickly launched, eventually forming this unified statement.
But in regional politics, such a collective move actually releases a signal that Israel in the Middle East has become a “preventive object” and that is just beginning.
China, Netanyahu’s “misjudgment” operation
The attitude in Israel is not completely consistent. Shortly after the 57-nation meeting, Netanyahu suddenly opened fire on September 15 to accuse China, saying that China influenced public opinion on social platforms and was detrimental to Israel. This speech caused quite a shock at home and abroad in Israel.
The problem is that China’s position in the Israeli conflict in Pakistan has been relatively neutral, and is more about calling for a ceasefire and dialogue.Netanyahu’s statement is clearly not based on facts, but rather on a “seeking a sheep.”
As soon as these words came out, the reaction was not the expected support, but a lot of doubts. Many Israeli politicians even expressed dissatisfaction on the spot, thinking that this was a joke about state relations.
Many professionals in the economic and diplomatic fields in Israel have also spoken out to remind the government not to easily destroy relations with major economies, especially in the current already stressful situation.
Netanyahu’s statement is more widely understood as an operation of “transfering the line of sight.”
He blamed the domestic diplomatic crisis simply for the "incitement" of external forces, without reflecting on whether the problem arose in his own policy.
Isolation intensifies, and no one wants to stand, except for the United States.
As the situation continues to evolve, Israel's diplomatic space is also rapidly compressing. Many European countries have begun to adjust their policies toward Israel and reduce military and technical cooperation.
Some international organizations have also issued warnings that Israel’s current practices may violate a number of international regulations.
In this context, Netanyahu has repeatedly stressed that “the United States remains a firm supporter.”
The U.S. is also supporting Israel on a diplomatic level, but this “unique” alliance also makes Israel more lonely.
In the final analysis, diplomacy is not supported by a friend alone. Especially in the powder keg of the Middle East, losing the trust of regional countries is equivalent to pushing oneself to the edge.
A diplomatic system maintained only by the United States is not only unstable, but also easy to lose its balance at critical moments.
More realistically, the U.S. itself is currently in the electoral cycle, with all sorts of domestic pressures continuing, and it’s hard to say how much the White House can continue to support Israel unconditionally.
Israel has also begun to express concerns about the excessive reliance on the United States, believing that it is necessary to rethink its foreign strategy to prevent it from falling into the trap of "unilateralism".
Military toughness brings crisis instead of security
The reason why Israel has come to this point is actually not because of who is behind it, but because there are problems with the policy itself.
Since Netanyahu came to power, he has always taken a high-pressure route to try to resolve all contradictions with military force, but the reality is that the complex situation in the Middle East is far from suppressable by force.
From its early actions on Gaza, to recent strikes on several neighbors, Israel has shown a gesture of “no way out.”
This approach may deter opponents in the short term, but in the long run, it is constantly consuming the patience of allies and forcing neutral countries to choose sides.
In particular, the blow to Qatar directly triggered the rebound of 57 countries. Qatar is an influential country in the region, and it also plays the role of mediator in many international issues.
Attacking such a country is not only a military operation, but also a diplomatic provocation.
It can be said that Netanyahu’s strategy is failing. The old “fight and talk” model is now difficult to work. Enemies are not defeated, but friends are getting fewer.
How long can diplomatic isolation last?
Now Israel is like a ship sailing in the storm, with waves on all sides, and only one point left to rely on.
The problem is that the crash point itself is not stable.The U.S. support is still there, but how long it can last, how long it can last, no one dares to buy a ticket.
More importantly, Israel's domestic economy, public opinion, and social stability are also under pressure. Diplomatic isolation does not bring a simple war of words, but concrete economic consequences.
Reduced investment, restricted exports, and stagnant technical cooperation. These problems appear one after another. Everyone knows that if they drag on, the consequences will not only damage the international status, but also problems within the country.
China, as an important global economy and a participant in international affairs, has alwaysined restraint and neutrality.In this time to provoke China, not only does not help to solve the problem, but may completely disappear.
If Israel was able to find a balance between toughness and compromise in the past, now it has broken this balance by itself.
The joint statement of the 57 countries is a warning and a boundary setting, and if Netanyahu still insists on a road to the end, it awaits him, I am afraid it will be an increasingly narrow diplomatic deadlock.
