Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi called Palestine\'s UN admission a critical step to \"rectify prolonged historical injustice,\" emphasizing global solidarity for Middle East peace. 🌍✊ The remarks came during a press conference in Papua New Guinea, where Wang criticized the U.S. for its \"dishonorable\" veto blocking Palestine\'s full UN membership bid.
\"The international community is fed up with Washington\'s obstruction,\" Wang stated, urging the UN Security Council to prioritize justice over politics. He argued that Palestine\'s statehood should be a precondition—not an outcome—of negotiations with Israel, calling it key to a two-state solution. 💬
While over 140 countries support Palestine\'s bid, the U.S. veto has sparked outrage, with China labeling it a failure to address \"decades of suffering.\" Wang stressed that UN members have a duty to correct this historical imbalance, challenging Washington to prove its commitment to peace. 🔥
