<\/a>Against All Odds, I Saw Signs of Hope for Israel and America at the United Nations<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\nAnne-Sophie Sebban-B\u00e9cache<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n This year\u2019s session of the United Nations General Assembly opened on Rosh Hashanah. I arrived in a somber mood: France\u2019s unilateral recognition of the State of Palestine \u2014 echoed soon by others \u2014 had the potential to trigger an inexorable escalation between two camps: Europe and the UN on one side, and Israel and the US on the other.<\/span><\/p>\n This is the cynical strategy that Hamas has pursued since October 7, 2023: draw Israel into a war that would ultimately delegitimize it on the international stage.<\/span><\/p>\n The Palestinian Authority (PA), by other means, is chasing the same end. Recognizing a state of \u201cPalestine,\u201d in this environment, is a gift to the regimes in power Hamas on one side, the PA on the other \u2014 and an affront to those truly committed to a better future for the region.<\/span><\/p>\n The week of diplomatic meetings and speeches at the UN unfolded across the days between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur \u2014 a time of introspection, judgment, and renewal.\u00a0 Throughout our meetings, I was reminded that reality is never as binary as it may seem, and that fatalism is not \u2014 and can never be \u2014 a Jewish posture.<\/span><\/p>\n In the corridors of multilateral diplomacy, escape routes began to appear: frank glances, sincere handshakes, whispered confidences that can carry more weight than thundering declarations.<\/span><\/p>\n Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky emerged confident from his meeting with President Donald Trump, who for the first time explicitly held out the prospect of \u201cvictory\u201d for Ukraine \u2014 perhaps a sign that old alliances are finally snapping back into place. No less significant is the long awaited, increasingly open alignment between Israel and Ukraine. The Baltic states \u2014 Latvia foremost \u2014 say it plainly: their own security, also threatened by Vladimir Putin, requires a strategic partnership not only with the United States but also with Israel, notably to acquire some of the most sophisticated anti\u2011drone detection systems \u2014 a goal set for year\u2011end.<\/span><\/p>\n This realignment gives us reason to hope again: could the geopolitical chessboard at last be stabilizing? When we exchanged Shana Tova greetings with President Zelensky, we could feel the hope \u2014 and the prospect \u2014 of a shared victory in the year ahead: for Ukraine, for the Jewish people, and for Israel.<\/span><\/p>\n Which brings us back to the issue of recognition. In New York and across European capitals, many headlines proclaimed Israel\u2019s historic isolation. That emerging isolation is real \u2014 but it is not all encompassing, and it demands context. Allies still exist, including in Europe. Those who have faced war against ruthless enemies \u2014 like a senior Bosnian official we met, a former soldier in the 1993 war, or those in the East living under the constant threat of a hostile neighbor \u2014 understand intimately what a small, encircled state like Israel endures.<\/span><\/p>\n Others farther afield are speaking up as well, especially in sub\u2011Saharan Africa. From Guinea\u2011Bissau to the Democratic Republic of the Congo under President F\u00e9lix Tshisekedi, whom we met for the first time, there is a tangible desire to accelerate development through stronger partnerships with the United States and Israel \u2014 across agriculture, health, energy, and cybersecurity. These are not empty promises; they are roadmaps. Foundations are being laid for durable friendships on a continent that, by 2050, is projected to account for a quarter of the world\u2019s population.<\/span><\/p>\n At American Jewish Committee (AJC), by maintaining and broadening high\u2011level dialogue, and by continuing to open new doors for Israel and the Jewish people, we are rekindling the realm of the possible where others insist there is no way out. Ours is a diplomacy that repairs rather than flatters: it demands effectiveness to move history forward and rests on long\u2011term loyalty and active patience.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Against the odds \u2014 just when this UNGA week seemed poised to widen the growing chasm between Israel and Europe \u2014 a path toward peace and stability began to emerge.<\/span><\/p>\n As world leaders continued to meet in New York, President Trump, speaking at the White House after conferring with Prime Minister Netanyahu, announced a plan that could bring an end to the Israel-Hamas war, bring the hostages home, and secure a more peaceful, prosperous future for civilians in Gaza. The plan, as of this writing, has been welcomed by the European Council and already garnered support across the Arab and Muslim-majority world.<\/span><\/p>\n The road ahead will be long and the obstacles immense, but we have learned to draw hope from darkness. That is our task \u2014 and, I believe, our victory.<\/span><\/p>\n Anne-Sophie Sebban-B\u00e9cache<\/strong> is the Vice President Europe, AJC.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n Zawarto\u015b\u0107 publikowanych artyku\u0142\u00f3w i materia\u0142\u00f3w nie reprezentuje pogl\u0105d\u00f3w ani opinii Reunion’68,<\/em> Against All Odds, I Saw Signs of Hope for Israel and America at the United Nations Anne-Sophie Sebban-B\u00e9cache Members of the United Nations Security Council vote against a resolution by Russia and China to delay by six months the reimposition of sanctions on Iran during the 80th UN General Assembly in New York City, US, […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[6],"tags":[33,24],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.reunion68.se\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/124774"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.reunion68.se\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.reunion68.se\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.reunion68.se\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.reunion68.se\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=124774"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/www.reunion68.se\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/124774\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":124811,"href":"https:\/\/www.reunion68.se\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/124774\/revisions\/124811"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.reunion68.se\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=124774"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.reunion68.se\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=124774"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.reunion68.se\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=124774"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
