As fears grow of a wider conflict in the Middle East, the war between Israel and Hamas appears to be deepening the divide between the United States and its allies on one side and China and its partner Russia on the other. The divide has been apparent this week at the United Nations Security Council, where efforts to pass a resolution in response to the conflict were stymied by disagreements among members including the United States, Russia and China, all of whom wield vetoes.
” Calling for a two-state solution is beside the point, Lati added, as it is not an idea that Hamas supports. China and Russia have refrained from condemning Hamas because they are waiting to gauge the response from Muslim-majority countries, Maslov said, not just from the major oil-producing nations in the Middle East with which they have deep economic ties, but in other parts of the world such as Indonesia and Malaysia.
