In the context of the ongoing escalation of the Israeli conflict and the deepening of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, an international conference on the implementation of the ¡°Two-State Plan¡± is due to be held in the United Nations headquarters on September 22.

It is that 10 countries, including France, Britain and Canada, will officially recognize the State of Palestine.

"A crucial step"

The two sides unanimously emphasized the importance of the 22nd meeting, saying it was a ¡°critical step¡± towards recognizing the Palestinian state, implementing the ¡°two-state plan¡± principle, and establishing an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital on the basis of the 1967 June 4 border.

At present, more than two-thirds of the UN Member States have recognized the Palestinian state. In addition to many countries that have already expressed their views, France, the United Kingdom, Canada, Portugal and other countries have also recentlyIt will officially recognize the Palestinian state.

The Gate of Peace.

On the morning of 12 September, the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution in support of the New York Declaration on a peaceful settlement on the Palestinian issue and the implementation of the ¡°two-state plan¡±.

Mansour, the permanent Palestinian observer at the United Nations, said the resolution was the first important issue adopted by the 80th UN General Assembly, which may be a ¡°good sign.¡±Almost everyone is eager to "open the door to peace".

However, a few days later, on the afternoon of September 18, when the UN Security Council voted on the Gaza ceasefire resolution draft proposed by 10 non-state members, the draft failed to be passed due to the U.S. once again exercising its veto right.

On the same day, U.S. President Trump also publicly stated at a joint press conference with the British prime minister that he opposes the UK¡¯s plan to recognize the Palestinian state.

¡°Green light¡± from the US.

¡°Unprecedented¡± military action

Faced with international pressure, Israel continues to push forward its military operations in the Gaza Strip.

On the 20th, the military said that the Israeli military had carried out airstrikes on about 100 targets in the Gaza Strip over the past 24 hours, killing several Hamas militants.The military operations in Gaza will continue with ¡°unprecedented force¡±.

Behind this, the secret "green light" behavior of the US side cannot be ignored.

In addition to using the Security Council¡¯s veto right, the United States has not strongly condemned or restricted Israeli attacks on recent targets in Qatar.The U.S. ambassador to Israel, Khakabi, also defended Israel in a recent media interview, saying Israel ¡°does not intend to occupy Gaza¡± and described Hamas as a Nazi.

In addition, according to the Wall Street Journal, the United States plans to sell $6 billion worth of weapons to Israel, including 30 AH-64 Apache helicopters and 3,250 infantry assault vehicles.

Since the outbreak of the Israeli conflict on 7 October 2023, Israeli military operations in the Gaza Strip have killed more than 65,000 Palestinians and led to a severe humanitarian crisis in the area.

The suffering in Gaza continues every day.While international consensus on the ¡°two-state plan¡± is expanding, can this ¡°critical step¡± deliver tangible results and ¡°the door of peace¡± really be opened?
