At a recent press briefing in Beijing, spokesperson Guo Jiakun said:
Force cannot bring peace, and violence cannot deliver security.
He highlighted that ending the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is a shared hope for people in Palestine, Israel, and the wider Middle East. 🕊️
Guo reaffirmed that Gaza belongs to the Palestinian people and is an inseparable part of their territory. He stressed the need for a comprehensive ceasefire to ease the humanitarian crisis. "Countries with special influence over Israel should take real responsibility," he added 🤝.
Looking ahead, Guo noted that the principle of Palestinians governing Palestine must guide post-war reconstruction, ensuring local leadership leads rebuilding efforts and upholding the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people.
China reiterated its support for the two-state solution — a plan for Israel and a sovereign Palestine to live side by side — and warned against any actions that could undermine this framework. Guo emphasized that China will continue to work with the international community to promote a ceasefire in Gaza and support the Palestinian people in restoring their legitimate national rights.
For young readers in South and Southeast Asia, this development is a reminder that global issues touch our lives, whether you’re scrolling through social feeds in Jakarta or catching up on news in Mumbai. Dialogue over violence remains the key message. 💬
