In a passionate address to the United Nations General Assembly on December 6, 2025, Chinese diplomat Sun Lei called for urgent international efforts to address decades of Palestinian displacement and conflict. The speech came as the UN adopted key resolutions supporting humanitarian aid and Palestinian self-governance – measures opposed by the US and Israel.
Decades-Long Struggle Takes Center Stage
Sun, China's deputy UN representative, emphasized that 'the Palestinian issue remains the heart of Middle Eastern tensions' during Friday's session. His remarks echoed China's consistent support for a two-state solution and immediate ceasefire in Gaza.
What the Resolutions Mean
The approved measures include:
💰 Expanded funding for Palestinian refugee aid programs
🏥 Emergency medical support for conflict zones
🏗️ Reconstruction plans for war-damaged areas
The Road Ahead
While 153 nations backed the resolutions, the US and Israel stood as lone dissenters. Sun stressed: 'True peace requires recognizing Palestine's legitimate rights – this isn't just regional stability, but a global justice issue.' China has pledged continued development assistance while pushing for political negotiations.
