(From Washington, United States) The United Nations General Assembly votes to admit Palestine as a full member It showed the geopolitical division in Latin America and Europe. The position on the war waged by Israel against the terrorist Hamas movement in Gaza is key to understanding the various alliances. Breaking regional relations He stressed the global impact that the situation in the Middle East is having.
Emergency General Assembly of United nations The merger has been approved The State of Palestine was a full member, with a majority of 143 votes in favour, 9 votes in favour, and 25 abstentions from voting. It was an unprecedented vote, in a conflict that has been ongoing since 1948.
In Latin America I voted for bolivia, Brazil, Chili pepper, Colombia, cuba, Guatemala, ecuador, honduras, mexico, nicaragua, Panama, Peru, Uruguay And Venezuela. Argentina was against it And Paraguay was the only regional country to abstain from voting.
Vote Shows breakage of Mercosur partners Regarding Palestine and its relationship with Israel. Lula da Silva Claims that the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) committed a massacre in Gaza, while… Javier Miley He stresses that the principle of self-defense is being exercised against the terrorist attack carried out by Hamas on October 7. Louis Lacalle Po And support Palestine’s accession to the United Nations Santiago Pena Suggested abstention. Therefore, the regional forum did not have a single position.
The focus of diplomatic positions was not in support of Existence and coexistence The two states, but rather the war strategy implemented by Israel and Palestine in the Gaza Strip. This contains a paradox: if the vote has finally become effective – everything has gone to the Security Council – The United Nations would have accepted a terrorist organization as a full member.
In this context, Hamas leaders said They will have diplomatic passports, They will be immune to Interpol red alerts and can abandon their golden exile in Qatar, where the emirate protects them. Moreover, to make the situation more complicated, an internal dispute may arise over representation in the United Nations.
Hamas controls Gaza, and the Palestinian National Authority still administers the West Bank. Both are halves of Palestine, and this is unlikely to be the case Yahya Al-Sanwar -The leader of Hamas- sits to agree on a joint agenda with him Mohammed Mustafa, Prime Minister APN. They are mortal enemies.
Bolivia, Chile, Cuba, Colombia, Mexico, Nicaragua and Venezuela They voted according to their ideology And his view of the world. They are countries with the same Pro-Palestinian governments, which has a duet on the conflict in the Middle East and Israel. It’s more: gustavo pietro, Daniel Ortega Miguel Diaz-Canel And Nicolas Maduro They testify to their condemnation of the survival strategy pursued by the State of Israel.
in Europe, The regional break is shown with greater evidence. Spain, France, Greece, Ireland And Portugal voted to annex Palestine As a full member of the United Nations, while Austria, Germany, Italy, Holland, United kingdom, Sweden And Swiss Abstain from voting. No European country voted against the resolution.
Once again, the view of the conflict in the Middle East and its impact on public opinion weighed more heavily in the vote The ideological perspective of governments. Pedro Sanchez has the same voice as Emmanuel Macron. While Georgia Meloni abstained from voting, as did German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
The vote on Palestine at the United Nations led to the collapse of the European Union. There was no unified position Each country acted in the UN in direct relation to its geopolitical interests and domestic agenda.
In contrast to the war he wages Ukraine against Russia To where Most European countries Supports a government Volodymyr Zelensky, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu It enjoys fragmented support and relies heavily on public opinion.
The draft resolution on Palestine was submitted to Security Council, It is the real power in the United Nations. Since the end of World War II, when the United Nations was created, the Security Council has done this five Permanent members –China, the United States, France, the United Kingdom and Russia– And ten Non-permanent members.
It requires a new member to join the United Nations 9 votes In the Security Council, and There is no veto From a permanent member. China and Russia They support Palestine and its main financier, which is… Iran. France and the United Kingdom are allies of the United States, but in this case they acted without an alliance: Paris in favor, Washington vs And London abstained from voting.
This means that Palestine will not be a member of the United Nations until it signs a peace agreement with Israel. that was The condition imposed by the United States To allow their entry into the United Nations.
