Hey fam, big news: Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi met with Moroccan FM Nasser Bourita in Beijing and dropped three major proposals to cool down the Gaza conflict. 😮
During the meeting, Wang Yi—who's also in the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee—called for an urgent, comprehensive ceasefire in Gaza to ease the ongoing humanitarian disaster. He urged key players, including the UN Security Council and relief agencies, to step up. 🤲
He also called out Israel’s recent push to seize Gaza City, its air strikes on Hamas targets, and fast-tracked West Bank settlement plans, saying these moves violate international law and threaten the two-state vision.
He flagged that Gaza and the West Bank are inalienable Palestinian territories, insisting any post-war plans must let Palestinians govern Palestine and respect their will in rebuilding communities.
He backed the two-state solution: recognizing the State of Palestine and supporting its full UN membership as practical steps to promote peace and block one-sided actions. 🕊️
He emphasized that Israeli and Arab lives are equally valuable. He warned that curbing violence with violence only fuels new hatred and urged all sides to ditch double standards and share security, not insecurity.
With the conflict dragging into its second year and triggering massive displacement, China says it’s committed to UN resolutions and ready to work for a just, lasting solution that respects both peoples. 🌍
