At a critical UN General Assembly session, China's top envoy Fu Cong called for immediate action to address the decades-long Israeli-Palestinian conflict, urging Israel to comply with international law and withdraw from occupied territories. 🔥
Key Moments from Fu Cong’s Speech
Fu, China’s permanent representative to the UN, emphasized that Israel’s occupation of Palestinian lands violates international law, citing a landmark International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruling from July 19. 💬 \"Ending the occupation isn’t optional—it’s Israel’s legal duty,\" he declared, echoing the ICJ’s stance.
Why This Matters
The envoy stressed that Palestinian statehood is a \"non-negotiable right\" and warned that prolonged occupation undermines Middle East peace. 🌱 \"Only a free Palestine can ensure lasting security for both peoples,\" he added, promoting the two-state solution as the sole path forward.
Global Support for Palestine
Fu highlighted the UN’s recent recognition of Palestine as a member state and its proposed draft resolution to enforce the ICJ’s ruling. China confirmed it will vote in favor, aiming to \"revive hope for peace\" through international cooperation. 🤝
