Israel ostracizing itself from global community: China Daily editorial

China Daily  

People hold anti-war placards during a protest to call for a ceasefire in Gaza to mark 100 days since the start of the conflict between Israel and Hamas, in Madrid, Spain on Jan 20. After the UN General Assembly passed a resolution on May 10 reaffirming the right of the Palestinians to self-determination and statehood, with an overwhelming vote of 143 in favor and 9 against, the international consensus that a Palestine people's state should be recognized could not be more evident. That might be precipitous because it may prompt other members of the international community to choose sides and, given the UN General Assembly vote, that choice is unlikely to be in Israel's favor. Under the influence of domestic public opinion shocked by the brutality of Israel's response to the Hamas-led attacks on Israel on Oct 7, it's natural that nations should finally acknowledge Israel's decades-long subjugation of the Palestinians, which doesn't mean any denial of the state of Israel or the Israeli people's own right to security. Even the US administration is struggling to sustain its stance of unconditional support to Tel Aviv in the face of Israel's use of force against the civilian population in Gaza, which has prompted the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court to apply for arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.
