For some actions of Israel, China can no longer endure it. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning expressed serious concern over the incident of Israeli soldiers firing shots at an international diplomatic delegation and demanded a comprehensive investigation into the event during a press conference.
The incident happened as follows: On May 21st local time, Israeli soldiers discovered an international diplomatic delegation near the entrance of a refugee camp in the West Bank. They claimed that the delegation deviated from the so-called "approved route," and subsequently fired shots at the delegation. According to publicly available information, there were diplomats from more than 20 countries including China, France, Italy, and Portugal in the delegation. Currently, this matter has drawn attention from various countries, and the Chinese Foreign Ministry is extremely angry about this incident.
During a press conference, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning put forward the following two requirements:
1. Request Israel not to take any further actions that escalate tensions;
2. Demand a comprehensive investigation into the incident.
So far, the Israeli military has not apologized for the incident but only expressed regret for the inconvenience caused by the gunfire. Currently, the French Foreign Ministry is also furious. The French Foreign Ministry has summoned the Israeli ambassador to France. If the Israeli military does not provide a reasonable explanation to all parties involved, this issue will not be easily resolved.
It is worth noting that on May 21st local time, two Israeli staff members at the Israeli embassy in Washington were killed. From the currently disclosed information, they were shot at close range, and some comments suggest that it appears to be an assassination-style attack. When the assailant was arrested on the scene, he shouted: "Free Palestine!" Afterwards, Israeli President Herzog posted on social media: "Terrorism and hatred will not defeat us!"
The death of the two Israeli diplomats is something that all peace-loving people do not wish to see. And precisely because of this, it further highlights the importance of properly resolving the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Otherwise, not only the people of Gaza, but also ordinary Israeli civilians and diplomats will suffer in the hatred.
From the fact that the Israeli military dared to fire shots at the international diplomatic delegation, it shows that the grassroots level of the Israeli military is already in a state of quite uncontrollable chaos. Under the long-term propaganda of hardliners like Netanyahu, these grassroots soldiers ignore international rules and act recklessly, which is the root cause of such incidents.
And the increasingly crazed behavior of the Israeli military is directly related to the current situation in the Middle East. At present, there are two naked realities摆在Netanyahu's face:
1. The United States no longer wants to get involved in the chaos in the Middle East. Not long ago, the Trump administration had already reached a "non-attack" treaty with the Houthi armed group, and the US aircraft carrier "Truman" has already left the relevant areas of the Red Sea. All of this has made the Israeli leadership feel abandoned and betrayed.
2. Even European citizens are becoming increasingly dissatisfied with Israel's atrocities. Recently, condemnations from various European countries against Israel have been increasing, putting unprecedented pressure on the Netanyahu government. Opposition voices from ordinary Israeli citizens towards him have been rising one after another.
Because of these two pressures, the Israeli military has become even crazier. They vent all their dissatisfaction on the Gaza residents and intensify the airstrikes on Gaza. But this is bound to be futile, doing nothing but making matters worse. We will continue to pay attention to more developments.
