Beijing (ANTARA) \u2013 Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi stressed that the\nPalestinian people have the right to be free from war, just as others\naround the world. \u2018Turmoil and war are not the destiny of the\nPalestinian people. Just as people in other parts of the world, the\nPalestinian people also have a legitimate right to be free from war and\nto enjoy peaceful development,\u2019 Wang Yi said at a press conference on\n\u2018China\u2019s diplomacy policy and foreign relations\u2019 in Beijing on\nSunday.<\/p>\n
Palestine is currently in a period of recovery after two years of war\nin Gaza that has killed more than 71,000 people, predominantly women and\nchildren, and injured more than 171,000 since October 2023.<\/p>\n
\u2018As a large country with responsibility, China will, as always,\nsupport the just Palestinian struggle to defend its legitimate national\nrights, and urge the international community to restore justice to the\nPalestinian people,\u2019 Wang Yi asserted.<\/p>\n
The Gaza situation, Wang Yi said, touches on the boundaries of basic\ninternational morality.<\/p>\n
\u2018International efforts to push for a ceasefire in Gaza should be\nwelcomed, but to solidify the ceasefire, promote reconstruction, and\nsubsequently resolve the Palestinian issue comprehensively and\nsustainably, continual efforts are required,\u2019 he added.<\/p>\n
Wang Yi said there is only one rational solution recognised widely to\nresolve the Palestinian issue.<\/p>\n
\u2018The solution is the \u2019two-state solution\u2019. Any other arrangements or\nthe formation of new mechanisms should be to advance, not undermine, the\n\u2018two-state solution\u2019,\u2019 he stated.<\/p>\n
The international community, Wang Yi said, cannot accept if the\nPalestinian problem is sidelined again.<\/p>\n
\u2018The UN even has a greater responsibility to play a leading role in\nthis process,\u2019 he added.<\/p>\n
Currently, Gaza is \u2018under\u2019 the authority of the Board of Peace (BoP)\ncreated by United States President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n
This is due to a UN Security Council resolution on 17 November 2025\nthat gave powers to UN members and the BoP to form an International\nStabilization Force (ISF), so that Gaza is under a unified command.<\/p>\n
ISF operates under the strategic guidance of the BoP and will be\nfunded through voluntary contributions from donors and funding sources\nfrom the BoP and the government.<\/p>\n
To date, there are countries that have joined the BoP including\nArgentina, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Albania, Bahrain, Belarus, Bulgaria,\nCambodia, El Salvador, Egypt, Hungary, Indonesia, Israel, Jordan,\nKazakhstan, Kosovo, Kuwait, Mongolia, Morocco, Pakistan, Paraguay,\nQatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Uzbekistan, and Vietnam,\nled by the United States, but excluding Palestine from membership.<\/p>\n
A number of major European countries, such as France, Germany and the\nUnited Kingdom, are not on the list. Additionally, other UN Security\nCouncil members, including China and Russia, are not included.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/china-palestinians-have-the-right-to-be-free-from-war-1772972239", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
