There is criticism that the US has rejected international public opinion calling for an immediate ceasefire between Israel and Palestine. As a result, concerns were raised within the United States that the United States was becoming isolated from the international community.
23rd Japan <교도통신>The UN Security Council held an emergency public meeting on the 22nd (local time) regarding Israel’s deployment of ground troops to Rafah, southern Gaza Strip, Palestine, and passed a resolution on the 20th (local time) calling for an ‘immediate humanitarian ceasefire’ . “Criticism from various countries poured in against the United States, which used its veto power,” the report said.
Previously, on the 20th, the United Nations Security Council voted on a resolution for an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip proposed by Algeria, but the United States, a permanent member, exercised its veto and failed to adopt the resolution. In the vote on this day, 13 of the 15 members of the Security Council voted in favor of the resolution, excluding the United States, which opposed it, and the United Kingdom, which abstained.
At the time, the US announced it would instead push for a resolution calling for a “temporary ceasefire as soon as possible,” saying the resolution did not include a request to release Israeli hostages, which could make it more difficult . to release hostages in the future.
It was assessed that the United States, which had previously refused to use the term ‘ceasefire’ and had twice rejected resolutions calling for a ceasefire raised by the Security Council, had shown a more progressive attitude than before through sign a truce directly this time.
However, given that significant civilian casualties are expected if ground troops are sent to Rafah, where Palestinian refugees are gathered, criticism continues that the US is showing an irresponsible attitude.
According to the news agency, in the meeting that day, the Russian Ambassador to the United Nations, Vasily Nebenza, said, “(The exercise of his veto in the United States cannot be justified). If there is no ceasefire, the hostages will not be allowed release them.” Chinese Ambassador to the United Nations Zhang Jun also pointed out, “If the fighting continues for even one more day, more citizens will be sacrificed. The United States needs to show a responsible attitude.”
At the meeting of foreign ministers of 20 major countries (G20) held in Brazil, the public opinion of the international community gathered that there is a need for coexistence between Israel and Palestine. The news agency reported on the 22nd (local time) that Brazilian Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira said, “The participating countries more or less agreed on the recognition that the coexistence of two states with Israel through the establishment of a Palestinian state is the only solution for peace between Israel. and Palestine.” It was said that
He said, “Regarding the ground attack on Rafah that is being prepared by the Israeli army, many countries have asked to suspend the operation,” the news agency reported, adding, “Many countries have also expressed concerns about the deteriorating humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip.”
Josep Borrell, High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, who attended the G20 meeting, also emphasized the two-state solution. franc
The US, which rejected an immediate ceasefire resolution at the UN Security Council, also appeared to agree to a two-state solution at the G20. The US Secretary of State, Tony Blinken, said that there must be a “concrete path to statehood for Palestine” and that he was “working hard to reach an agreement to release the hostages (Israel) held by Hamas and extend the humanitarian ceasefire.”
The news agency assessed, “As warnings of a humanitarian disaster in the Gaza Strip increase day by day, Israel faces pressure from the international community to create a Palestinian state, including from its key ally, the United States.”
Meanwhile, concerns are being raised within the United States that the United States is showing a position that is out of sync with the international community. American media <세마포>On the 22nd (local time), in an article titled ‘G20 meeting exposed America’s isolation in Gaza’, “The G20 meeting showed how isolated the United States has been over the past months while continuing to support Israel.” It was said that

The media is <워싱턴 포스트>This scene was said to have actually been captured at the G20 meeting. <워싱턴 포스트>He said because the sound system was not turned off during the meeting, he accidentally heard the comments of each country’s delegation. “We issued a strong warning about ‘additional destruction’ that could result from a military operation,” the report said.
In addition, in the case of South Africa, which submitted a complaint against Israel to the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the international community expressed a united voice against Israel, saying, “If the G20 had been integrated into the principles of the UN Charter, the tragedy in Palestine would not have lasted more than three months.” The reason for not being able to pay was also mentioned.
<세마포>predicted that the US’s “isolationist position” in favor of Israel could cause practical problems in its external actions, saying, “It allows actors like China to strengthen their position in the Middle East.”
Attention was also drawn to the fact that the current full support for Israel is not very advantageous politically internally for President Biden and the current administration. <뉴욕타임스>predicted that the Michigan Democratic Party primary, scheduled for the 27th (local time), could be a real referendum on President Biden’s Middle East policy.
“Arab Americans, who make up a significant portion of the electorate, including college students, say they will not vote for President Biden in the November presidential election unless he specifically calls for a ceasefire ,” the newspaper said.
