Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Guo Jiakun has reiterated China’s firm stance on the Palestinian issue, emphasizing that Gaza is an inalienable part of Palestinian territory and should not be treated as a political bargaining tool or controlled by external powers. His remarks come amid discussions about the future of Gaza and international diplomatic efforts to establish a lasting ceasefire in the region.
During a press briefing, Guo stated that “Gaza belongs to the Palestinian people” and should not be used as a piece in political games. He reaffirmed China’s call for an immediate and lasting ceasefire, the protection of civilians, and the delivery of humanitarian aid to the region. China has been actively involved in diplomatic efforts aimed at de-escalating the violence and has pledged to support post-war reconstruction in Gaza
Guo’s comments were also seen as a direct response to discussions involving external control over Gaza, particularly in light of suggestions from U.S. officials regarding American involvement in the region. He warned against using Gaza as a “prey of the strong,” reinforcing China’s position that Palestinian sovereignty must be respected
China, alongside Russia, has expressed strong support for a ceasefire agreement reached between Israel and Hamas. Both nations have called for the implementation of this agreement and hope it will lead to a permanent resolution of the conflict. China has also urged the international community to take advantage of the ceasefire to promote peace and stability in the Middle East
With ongoing tensions and humanitarian challenges in Gaza, China has positioned itself as a key advocate for Palestinian rights and regional stability. The coming weeks will likely see further diplomatic engagement from Beijing as it continues to push for a political resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
