US Veto on Palestine: A Blow to Peace and Justice

American politicians who continue to support the ‘two-state solution’ are unwilling to support the establishment of a Palestinian state.” “What a lie the so-called ‘greatest democracy’ is.” The biggest obstacle to the establishment of a Palestinian state This government is a typical war… In the past two days, the United States’ one-vote veto of Palestine has been criticized on foreign social media.

China, Egypt, Ireland, and many other countries expressed disappointment The Gulf Cooperation Council issued a statement criticizing the United States for thwarting efforts to achieve a just and comprehensive peace in the Middle East.

As a permanent member of the Security Council, the US’s rejection vote on the 18th local time brutally shattered the decades-old dream of the Palestinian people and once again exposed its hypocrisy and “double standards” on the Palestinian-Israeli issue. While the war in Gaza continues, the United States does not play its proper role and when the Palestinians make their legitimate demands, the United States unduly obstructs it; This allows people to see that the “unilateral” policy of the United States has become the biggest obstacle to the Palestinian-Israeli peace process.

Establishing an independent state has long been a dream of the Palestinian people. Historically, Palestine has been home to Jews, Christians, and Muslims. In modern times, with the growth of Zionism in the region, the path to independent statehood for Palestine has become difficult.

By 2011, the Palestinian National Authority realized that it was difficult to stop and effectively counter the continued expansion of Israeli Jewish settlements by political means, so it made achieving UN membership its main goal and formally declared that year’s membership. Applied to the United Nations. As a result, the United States joined other countries in opposing it, and Palestine was eventually granted only “observer state” status without voting rights.

The Gaza Strip fell into war in October 2023, starting a new round of the Palestinian–Israeli conflict. The Palestinian National Authority is unable to effectively control the situation in Gaza and can muster only formal “joint membership” to garner broad support from the international community and pressure Israel to end its military operations in the Gaza Strip as soon as possible.

Can expect to apply for. Many countries, including China, also believe that the UN’s acceptance of Palestine as a full member state would give it equal status with Israel and help create conditions for Palestine-Israel negotiations. However, the special veto granted by the United States has once again suppressed the aspirations of the Palestinian people and the efforts of the international community.

All countries that sincerely support the “two-state solution” will not oppose Palestine’s “admission to the United Nations.” Why do American politicians who talk about a “two-state solution” repeatedly dash the hopes of the Palestinian people?

Analysts pointed out that, on the one hand, to strengthen hegemony in the Middle East and domestic political needs, successive US governments have regarded Israel as their most important ally, and their favoritism and complicity towards it as “not”. can be described. grassroots.” Israel opposes Palestine’s formal membership in the United Nations, and the United States will inevitably cooperate. On the other hand, the United States has always believed that any progress on the Palestinian-Israeli issue should be under its leadership.

If Palestine unilaterally applies to “join the United Nations”, it would weaken the United States’ leading role in the Palestinian–Israeli peace process. It can be seen that when it comes to the Palestinian-Israeli issue, the United States can’t avoid it. In his eyes, what is important is not whether Palestine and Israel can achieve peace, but protecting their self-interests.

Currently, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict continues and the humanitarian crisis is deepening. According to a statement issued by the Gaza Strip’s health department on the 19th, Israeli military operations in the Gaza Strip have killed more than 34,000 Palestinians and injured nearly 77,000. As the most important third party in the Palestinian-Israeli issue, the United States has not provided substantial aid to the Gaza Strip, but has provided a steady stream of weapons and equipment to Israel, and has repeatedly supported resolutions at the United Nations. Vetoed.

Ceasefire in Gaza by the respective countries. Samir Ragib, president of Egypt’s Arab Development and Strategic Research Foundation, criticized that the heavy casualties in the Gaza Strip were caused by “weapons and ammunition provided by the United States and its immoral complicity.”

What is even more worrying is that the side effects of the Palestine-Israel conflict are continuously coming to light. On the 19th local time, US and Israeli officials revealed that Israel carried out a “limited” air strike in retaliation against Iran, throwing the Middle East into a new round of retaliation and retribution. The Middle East conflict revolves around the Palestinian issue. Therefore, it is more urgent than ever to admit Palestine into full membership of the United Nations.

Ironically, Greenfield, the US representative to the UN, claimed that Palestine’s formal membership in the UN would not help achieve a “two-state solution” to the Palestine–Israel conflict. People want to ask the US representative what will help achieve the “two-state solution”? Are these the weapons that the United States has repeatedly sent to Israel? Or one veto after another in the United Nations?

These peace-breaking actions further confirm that the United States is “subversive” and “disruptive” in international and regional affairs. No one has veto power on issues related to the future and destiny of the Palestinian people.
