Amid escalating tensions in Gaza, China is doubling down on its call for peace. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi stressed ‘accelerating the two-state solution’ during a high-profile UN Security Council meeting this week, urging nations to rally behind Palestine’s independence based on 1967 borders.
Why Now? 🕊️
Wang linked the Gaza conflict to ‘the unresolved Palestinian question’, calling it the root of Middle East instability. ‘Without a free Palestine, cycles of violence will persist,’ he warned, emphasizing that Gaza—a Palestinian homeland—shouldn’t be collateral in global politics.
What’s Next? 🤝
The veteran diplomat pushed for:
UN member states to fast-track Palestine’s full membership
Middle Eastern nations to ‘transcend differences’ for peace
Post-war Gaza governance led by Palestinians, not foreign powers
Wang also called for renewed ceasefire efforts and ‘constructive negotiations’ to achieve the ultimate goal: peaceful coexistence between Palestine and Israel.
