China calls on all parties to accelerate two-state solution: Chinese FM
China calls on all parties to accelerate the two-state solution and support the establishment of an independent Palestinian state based on the 1967 borders, said Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Tuesday.
Behind the Gaza conflict is the delay in resolving the question of Palestine, Wang, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, told the media after chairing the United Nations Security Council's high-level meeting on Practicing multilateralism, reforming and improving global governance, Xinhua reported.
Although the international community is currently focused on the Ukraine issue, global concerns extend beyond Ukraine, with numerous pressing issues, including the Gaza conflict, that demand international attention and should not be marginalized, said Wang, according to a readout released by Chinese Foreign Ministry on Wednesday.
According to the Xinhua News Agency, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar said on Tuesday during a press briefing that Israel would begin this week negotiations on the second phase of the Gaza cease-fire agreement and the talks would include the exchange of the remaining Israeli hostages held in the Gaza Strip and Palestinian detainees in Israeli jails.
The negotiations on the second phase have not yet started, Qatar's Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Majed Al Ansari said later on Tuesday, Xinhua reported.
Under the terms of the cease-fire agreement which has been in effect since January 19, Israel was supposed to begin talks on the second phase with Hamas on February 3.
Wang noted that Gaza is a Palestinian homeland and a part of Palestinian territory, and should not be a victim of international politics, adding that the parties concerned should continue to implement the ceasefire agreement and constructively advance follow-up negotiations.
The principle of the Palestinians governing Palestine should be upheld in the post-war governance of Gaza in line with the two-state solution with an ultimate goal to achieve peaceful coexistence between Palestine and Israel, as well as long-term peace and stability in the Middle East, he said.
Wang's call for more attention on the Gaza conflict reflects concerns on the relative marginalization of the Palestine-Israel conflict due to the closely-watched US-Russia talks on ending Ukraine crisis, Liu Zhongmin, a professor from the Middle East Studies Institute of Shanghai International Studies University, told the Global Times on Wednesday.
At the same time, US President Donald Trump's proposal to seize control of Gaza and permanently displace the entire Palestinian population of the devastated seaside enclave has created confusion over the implementation of the agreement reached between Israel and Hamas and is not conducive to a long-term solution to the question of Palestine, Liu said.
In response to a question about China's view on the second phase of negotiations on Gaza, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said on Wednesday that China believes that the pressing priority is to encourage parties involved to implement the ceasefire agreement in a continued and effective manner and advance the following negotiations with a constructive attitude.
Guo said the severe humanitarian situation in Gaza also needs greater and continuous attention and support from the international community. Recently, the Chinese government has provided Gaza with humanitarian emergency aid, consisting of 60,000 food parcels, which will be transported from Jordan. The initial shipment, which includes about 12,000 food parcels, was sent out.
As a responsible major country, China will continue to work with the international community to make relentless efforts for the deescalation of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the lasting peace and security in the Middle East, Guo said.
Wang on Tuesday called for reinvigorating true multilateralism and speeding up the efforts to build a more just and equitable global governance system. He made the remarks in his speech at the UN Security Council's high-level meeting on Practicing multilateralism, reforming and improving global governance.
The year 2025 marks the 80th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations, Wang said. In a time of intensifying turbulence and transformation, we need, more than ever, to remind ourselves of the founding mission of the United Nations, reinvigorate true multilateralism, and speed up the efforts to build a more just and equitable global governance system, said Wang.
