China has doubled down on its support for Palestine at this week's UN Human Rights Council session, with senior diplomat Jia Guide declaring Beijing will 'work tirelessly' for Middle East peace. The remarks come as Gaza's humanitarian crisis reaches what China calls 'an unprecedented level' in 2026.
🔥 Crisis in Focus
Jia, China's permanent representative to UN Geneva, slammed Israel's reported plan to annex 82% of the West Bank and ongoing settlement expansions as violations of international law. He emphasized: 'Humanitarian access must be restored NOW – we need a durable ceasefire, not empty promises.'
🌐 Two-State Solution Push
Calling for urgent action, China demanded:
- Immediate withdrawal from Lebanese/Syrian territories
- Curbing of settler violence
- Revival of the two-state solution framework
With Middle East tensions still making global headlines, China's vocal stance positions it as a key player in 2026's geopolitical chessboard. Will this spark new peace talks? The world's watching. 👀
