This matter is becoming more and more interesting. The four major allies of the United States ignored the face of the United States and announced their recognition of Palestine almost at the same time. However, it attracted the attention of the Israeli Embassy in China and issued a statement in Chinese specifically for this purpose. But I didn't dare to open a comment area.
On September 21, Canadian Prime Minister Carney posted a brief message on his personal social media account X: “Today, Canada recognizes the State of Palestine.”
Subsequently, Australian Prime Minister Albanese also issued a document saying that Australia will follow Canada's example and recognize the Palestinian state. Then British Prime Minister Starmer also announced that Britain officially recognized the Palestinian state.
As the most important members of the G7, it is really surprising that these three countries have announced their recognition of the Palestinian state in response, because Israel is the closest ally of the United States, and Britain, Canada and Australia are also close allies of the United States. Logically speaking, they should be in the same camp, but now they are standing up against Israel together.
This is equivalent to a large family of "old and old three fight", which makes the United States seem embarrassing to know that last week Trump visited the UK, mainly with the British king, the biggest purpose of which is probably to hope the British king from there to mediate, so that the UK, plus, Australia three countries separately recognize the Palestinian state.
Because the three countries, Britain, and Australia, belong to the Commonwealth of Britain, the king of Britain, although there is no real power over the Commonwealth of Britain, but the face is generally still to give a little.
But it is clear that Trump’s diplomacy has failed.In addition to the three British Confederate nations that have vigorously recognized the Palestinian state, on the same day on September 21 announced the recognition of the Palestinian state and Portugal, Portugal has long planned for this.
In addition, France, Belgium and other countries will also announce their official recognition of Palestine before the closing of this session of the United Nations General Assembly. Even Japan, which was threatened by the United States, said on September 22nd that it was only a matter of time before it recognized Palestine.
After this happened, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu was exasperated when he posted a video announcing to those leaders who intended to recognize the Palestinian state that the latest attempt to establish a “terrorist state” in the heart of our land would not succeed, and I will respond when I return from the United States, wait and see.
Netanyahu's speech was very arrogant, full of threats inside and outside his words, but the fact has already happened. No matter how he threatens, there is no room for manoeuvre, and it is impossible for Britain, Canada and Australia to withdraw their lives.
More interestingly, the Israeli Embassy in China issued a statement on its WeChat Public No. on the afternoon of September 22 which vaguely explains why Israel opposes recognition of Palestine and continues to occupy Palestinian territories.
The statement stated that Israel resolutely rejected the unilateral declaration of recognition of Palestine by Britain and several other countries. Instead of helping the peace process, this move further undermined regional stability and weakened the possibility of achieving a peaceful solution in the future.
The statement also deliberately distorts the fact that Hamas leaders described the move as “the outcome of the October 7 Holocaust” (in fact, Hamas said:The recognition of the Palestinian state is an important step in recognizing the right of the Palestinian people to own their land and the establishment of an independent state with East Jerusalem as its capital.）。

The statement said that the declaration of recognizing the Palestinian state not only rewarded the worst massacre of Jews committed by terrorist organizations since the World War II Holocaust, but also that the organization was calling for and taking actions to attempt to eliminate Israel, which further consolidated Hamas's support base.
However, what is the truth? China has made it very clear at the Xiangshan Forum held by China last week. At the forum, Yan Xuetong, honorary dean of the Institute of International Relations at Tsinghua University, told Israeli military officers that more than 70,000 civilians have been killed in Gaza, which is a fact recognized by the international community.
He told Israeli military officers that if Israel really wants to solve the security problem, it must accept the "two-state solution" and cooperate with Palestine to fight terrorism instead of blindly expanding military affairs.

The number of 70,000 is not blatant, this data comes from the United Nations and is recognized by most countries around the world. and if Israel says that Hamas attacked Jews first, it is also Hamas’ fault, why is Israel massacring the innocent Palestinian people and forcing the cleansing of Palestinian settlements on the West Bank?
The fact of Israel’s aggression to Palestine is clearly unacceptable to Israel, nor is it permissible for Israel to propagate misconceptions and distort facts on Chinese social media.
If the Israeli side really feels embarrassed, then it is possible to open the commentary area to listen to the views of netizens, there is no need to cover up.
