China: Palestinian statehood key to end world’s ‘longest-lasting injustice’
China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi says much more needs to be done for the establishment of an independent Palestinian state, which is the only solution to the world’s “longest-lasting injustice.”
“Generations of the Palestinian people have been displaced, unable to return to their home until this day. This is the longest-lasting injustice in our world,” the minister said at the Munich Security Conference in Germany on Saturday.
Pointing to the current circumstances in Gaza amid Israel’s hostilities, the Chinese minister underscored the need to target the root cause of the conflict for the establishment of peace in the region.
Wang called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.
The minister voiced deep concern over the killing of Palestinian civilians in the besieged territory since October 7, and said it was unacceptable for such a situation to continue in the 21st century.
“We should call for proper settlement of the question of Palestine, which has been lingering on for more than 70 years,” Wang said.
The minister said China was a factor for stability even in difficult issues given its mediatory role in a whole series of conflicts.
Wang said the ongoing hostilities in Gaza is to blame for the tensions in the Red Sea.
Beijing publicly urges all parties not to harass commercial ships in the Red Sea, the minister said, emphasizing the need to take action in accordance with international law and a mandate from the UN Security Council.
Yemen has been conducting missile and drone operations against Israeli vessels, those heading for the occupied territories’ ports, and the British and American warships that have been dispatched to the Red Sea to confront the Yemeni strikes.
The strikes have been seeking to pressure the Israeli regime into stopping an October 7, 2023-present Washington- and London-backed war against the coastal sliver.
More than 28,800 Palestinians, mostly women, children, and adolescents, have died in the Israeli hostilities war so far.
