Four permanent members of the UN Security Council have unified positions, and the United States remains the only one standing firm, which is truly a filial son that has never been seen before.

The UN Security Council held an emergency meeting regarding the Israeli Security Cabinet's approval of the plan for the Israeli military to take over Gaza City.

The meeting was requested by the UK, France, Denmark, Greece, and Slovenia. All Security Council members except the United States supported it.

China, Russia, the UK, and France, four permanent members, showed rare consistent positions, strongly condemned Israel's occupation attempt, believing that this action would seriously violate international law and further deteriorate the already extremely bad humanitarian situation in the Gaza area.

The United States still defended Israel, becoming the only exception in the room, forming a sharp contrast with the other four permanent members.

In fact, such a situation where the four permanent members are united and the United States stands alone is extremely rare in the history of the Security Council, often occurring when dealing with issues related to Israel.

For decades, the United States has almost always taken the side of Israel in all votes related to Israel, even if 14 members of the Security Council hold opposite views, the United States will use its veto power.

This meeting did not proceed to a vote, but the division of positions remained clear. The condemnation from China, Russia, the UK, and France was consistent and explicit, while the United States persisted in unconditional protection of Israel.

This pattern has become a fixed script in the Security Council on the Israel-Palestine issue.

This almost unconditional protection has allowed Israel to be virtually free from any substantive sanctions in the Security Council, and also repeatedly isolated the United States on related issues.

It must be said that the United States is indeed a good son to Israel. Even if Israel commits more heinous and shocking acts, the United States will unconditionally provide support, which is really very filial.
