On January 3, local time, Itama Ben Gvir, leader of the far-right Israeli political party and Minister of National Security of Israel, visited the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, causing serious dissatisfaction in Palestine, and the situation between Palestine and Israel became tense again. In view of this, China and the United Arab Emirates quickly requested an emergency meeting of the United Nations Security Council.
The Times of Israel reported on the 3rd that, accompanied by a Jewish believer, Gvir briefly visited the Temple Mount on the morning of the 3rd. During the visit, Gvir declared that the Temple Mount was open to all people, including Israel, and emphasized that Israel would not surrender to Hamas.
Why does Israel's visit to the Temple Mount cause such a big response? This is because the Temple Mount, located in the Old City of Jerusalem, is the holiest site for Judaism and Islam. After the Middle East war ended that year, Israel took control of the Temple Mount. According to the agreement between the two parties, Jordan had jurisdiction, but the security rights were still in Israel's hands. Only Muslims are allowed to visit the Al-Aqsa Mosque now, and others can only visit it at certain times.
Regarding this, Palestinians are very wary of any actions that want to change the status quo. Over the years, Israeli government officials have often visited here, resulting in many conflicts between the two sides. Regarding Gevir's visit, the Palestinian side said that this is Israel's provocation to all Arab countries and the international community, which will lead to more tense situations.
Also dissatisfied with this is the Hamas organization. They believe that this incident is a blatant crime and the Israeli government bears full responsibility. Hamas called on Arab countries and the international community to unite to provide support to Palestine.
The deputy spokesman of the United Nations also conveyed Guterres's views. He called on all parties to avoid actions that may aggravate tensions inside and outside the Temple Mount.
Other countries that oppose this matter include Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Türkiye and other countries, and even the United States also calls on the Netanyahu government to abide by its commitment to maintain the status quo of the Temple Mount.
It can be seen that the whole world is opposed to Israel's actions. As a permanent member of the Security Council, China took the initiative to request the Security Council to hold an emergency meeting on Gwere's actions that aggravated regional tensions.
Let’s briefly sort out the root causes of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. In the 13th century AD, the ancestors of the Israelites established a country in what is now Palestine. Due to the complex ethnic composition of this area, it was successively invaded and destroyed by the Persians and Romans. In the 1st century AD, the Romans occupied this place, and the Jews were forced to exile in Western Europe. After going to Europe, they were persecuted by feudal forces and were forced to migrate to Eastern Europe. At the end of the 19th century, the Jews who fled to Eastern Europe were marginalized and oppressed by local ethnic groups. This was all just oppression. Before and after World War II, the Jews faced catastrophe, and the German Nazis launched a bloody massacre against the Jews.
Thousands of years of exile and oppression have led to the emergence of "Zionist" trends within the Jewish nation, which have intensified. Western countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States have expressed support for this out of consideration of their respective political interests. So large numbers of Jews began to immigrate to Palestine from all over the world.
It should be noted that the Palestinian area is not a terra nullius. It is also inhabited by Palestinians who have been here for thousands of years. Why should they be responsible for the exile of the Jews? Therefore, conflicts began to break out between the two sides.
At that time, the United Nations was controlled by the United States and the West. It forcibly passed Resolution 181 in 1947, dividing the Palestinian area into two areas, one for the Israelis and the other for the Palestinians. This division is extremely unfair. Israel, with only over 30% of the population, gets more than half of the fertile land, while the Palestinians, who account for nearly 70% of the population, get less than half of the barren land. Although the Arabs objected vigorously, there were too few seats in the United Nations to change the resolution. There is no way, the war in the Middle East has officially broken out.
html After the 06 Middle East wars, Israel, with the help of the United States and the West, continued to encroach on Arab lands, including today's Jordan, Syria, and Egypt, which are all occupied by Israel. The conflicts between Europeans and Jews were thus passed on to Arabs.Under the mediation of the international community, the two sides have maintained relative stability for a long time. No large-scale war broke out, but small frictions continued. Recently, Netanyahu has returned to power, and the local situation has become tense again.
So Havel’s behavior this time is very dangerous and has caused concern in the international community. That's why the United Nations Security Council needs to hold an emergency meeting to avoid conflicts as much as possible. Media said the emergency meeting is expected to be held tomorrow.
