Op-pa: China “There is not only a Ukrainian problem in the world, but also a Palestinian problem” – “accelerate the advancement of a two-state solution and support the creation of an independent State of Palestine based on the 1967 borders”

“China calls on all parties to accelerate the promotion of a two-state solution and support the creation of an independent State of Palestine based on the 1967 borders.”

This statement was made by China’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Wang Yi on February 19, 2025 at a press conference following a high-level United Nations Security Council meeting on the topic of multilateral reforms and improving global governance. His words are quoted on the Chinese Foreign Ministry website.

When Wang Yi was asked about the delay of the second phase of negotiations regarding the Gaza issue, he pointed out that while the focus of all parties is currently on the Ukrainian issue, other important matters, such as the “situation in Gaza,” should not be forgotten.

“Although at present all parties are focused on the Ukrainian issue, it is important to recognize that the world is facing more than just the Ukrainian crisis. Other hotspots, including the conflict in Gaza, also require the attention of the international community and should not be marginalized.”

Wang Yi also reminded that behind “the conflict in Gaza lies the unresolved Palestinian question, which remains a central element of instability in the Middle East.” He emphasized that more than 70 years ago, the United Nations adopted a resolution to create two states — Palestine and Israel, but this process has only been partially implemented.

“The conflict in Gaza stems from the unresolved Palestinian question. More than 70 years ago, the United Nations adopted a resolution to create two states — Palestine and Israel, but the solution of two states has been implemented only partially. The State of Israel was formed long ago, but the Palestinian people still do not have their own country. Many have become refugees. The Palestinian issue remains at the heart of the Middle East problem.”

Consequences for World Peace and Security

According to Wang Yi, if the Palestinian issue remains unresolved, violence and cycles of revenge will continue. This, in turn, threatens not only stability in the region but also global peace as a whole.

“Without the implementation of a two-state solution, the logic of repaying grievance with grievance will not cease, and the cycle of violence will not end. Peace and stability in the Middle East will not be guaranteed, and the peace and security of all countries will be threatened.”

China Calls to Accelerate the Resolution of the “Palestinian Issue”

The Minister also stated that the international community must “activate its efforts to support Palestinian statehood and accelerate the creation of an independent State of Palestine based on the 1967 borders.” He emphasized that “Palestine must become a full member of the United Nations, and Gaza should be considered part of Palestinian territory.”

“China calls on all parties to accelerate the promotion of a two-state solution and support the creation of an independent State of Palestine based on the 1967 borders. Palestinian factions must truly implement the Beijing Declaration and achieve unity and strength. All parties in the Middle East should transcend their differences and support the creation of Palestine as an independent state. The United Nations must take action to ensure that Palestine becomes a full member. Gaza is the Palestinian homeland and part of Palestinian territory and should not be a victim of international politics.”

Trump and Israel: Political Euphoria That May Mask Real Threats

Amid these strong statements from China, Israel continues to be absorbed in political euphoria due to Trump’s words. The recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and other statements by the former U.S. president give Israel confidence in its political security. However, China, as a giant on the world stage, reminds us that despite U.S. support, there remains a real threat in the form of the unresolved Palestinian issue.

Trump continues to exert political influence on Israel, but China sharply contrasts with its position, which may lead to long-term consequences for Israel’s security in the region.

Conclusion: The Path to Peace and Stability

Wang Yi also pointed out that post-conflict governance of Gaza must adhere to the principle “Palestinians govern Palestine” and should be directed toward achieving long-term peace and stability in the region. Only by implementing the “two-state solution” can peaceful coexistence between Palestine and Israel be guaranteed.

“After the conflict, the governance of Gaza must adhere to the principle ‘Palestinians govern Palestine’ and align with the two-state solution in order to ultimately achieve peaceful coexistence between Palestine and Israel, as well as long-term peace and stability in the Middle East.”

Conclusion: China Puts the Palestinian Issue at the Forefront

China continues to actively raise the Palestinian issue on the global stage, reminding Israel and the international community that this “conflict requires immediate resolution.” Unlike smaller players on the international stage, China does not hesitate to loudly declare the importance of “quickly concluding the two-state process,” which, as it claims, could lead to the “long-awaited peace in the Middle East.”

While Israel remains focused on political support from Trump and domestic issues, China is already shaping new diplomatic challenges.
