Our country has twice "lifted the table" to denounce the United States. Why? What does Trump's support for Israel mean?
On October 1, the United Nations General Assembly discussed the issue of the use of the veto power. China's permanent representative to the United Nations, Fujin, criticized the United States and made it clear that "the Security Council's response to the crisis in Gaza would not be so unfavorable without the United States' repeated abuse of its veto rights."What the hell is going on here? We want to turn the timeline back to the 18th of last month, when the Security Council voted on a draft resolution on the ceasefire in Gaza proposed by 10 non-permanent members.
The draft resolution consists mainly of three parts: one requires an immediate and unconditional permanent ceasefire in Gaza; the other requires Hamas and other groups to immediately, dignely and unconditionally release those detained; and the third requires the Israeli government to immediately and unconditionally lift all restrictions on humanitarian aid access to Gaza. These contents have taken into account the interests of all parties, but just when the resolution will be passed overwhelmingly, at the last moment, the United States once again used its veto power, which directly led to the failure of the ceasefire resolution.This incident at the time sparked the international public opinion’s mouthwash on the United States.
As one of the United Nations Security Council’s “five constants”, the US abuse of a veto right in the Security Council has long raised widespread questions outside the world. Especially after the outbreak of the Israeli conflict, the U.S. government in order to give Israel a standpoint, according to records, the United States has eight times voted against the Gaza resolution, of which six times used a veto right.
The negative impact of his behavior can also be imagined: First,This will make the international community question whether the Security Council can handle international security affairs well and perform its duties, make an international authoritative organization like the Security Council a "laughing stock" in front of the whole world, and seriously damage the international credibility of the Security Council; Secondly,Using a veto by the United States is basically equivalent to encouraging the Israeli government to continue committing genocide against the Palestinian people, resulting in further escalation of tensions in Gaza, directly leading to the acceleration of the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip.
It is because of this, our representatives will openly denounce the United States at this General Assembly meeting. and this is not the first time that our country has recently "hanged the table" against the United States, when the United States voted to veto the Gaza ceasefire resolution, the ambassador Fujin has already hanged the table.At that time, Ambassador Fu Cong not only expressed disappointment with the United States, but also issued "three soul questions" to the United States and Israel: How many innocent lives will need to die before a ceasefire can be achieved in Gaza? How many tragedies will it take to happen before humanitarian supplies can flow unimpeded? When will the Security Council be able to perform its duties?
For these three issues, the Trump administration almost completely chose to ignore them because In addition to vetoing Israel in the Security Council, the United States continues to provide military assistance to Israel.It can be said that now every shot of the Israeli army in Gaza, every missile launched, every death of a Gaza refugee has a close relationship with the United States.
The Trump administration's so intentional strength against Israel can only indicate that the United States has not put international law in the eye from the beginning to the end, and international law in the eyes of Trump is only a "regular, unregular" political tool.In this case, China is not the only one that is completely disappointed with the Trump administration. A few days ago, Colombian President Petro even bluntly stated that if Trump continues to support the Netanyahu government's "genocide" in Gaza and acts as an accomplice to Israel, then he is only worthy of jail.
Having said that, if the United States and Israel sincerely hope for a ceasefire in Gaza, the first thing Israel must do is to fulfill its obligations under international humanitarian law and fully restore the entry of humanitarian supplies into Gaza. The United States, on the other hand, must immediately stop helping others and abusing its veto power, so that the Security Council can effectively perform its duties. Only in this way can the ceasefire in Gaza really see hope.
