An-Najah News - Chinese ambassador to Palestine Guo Wei stated his country’s rejection of Israel’s annexation of occupied West Bank and of any unilateral measures that undermine peace and stability.

“China rejects Israel’s endeavors to annex large swaths of the territories of the State of Palestine - the territories designated to be part of the future Palestinian state.”

He reiterated Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi’s call at the United Nations Security Council (UNSC)’s video conference for a just and comprehensive solution to the question of Palestine and stressed on the centrality of the Palestinian question.

Guo highlighted the Chinese President Xi Jinping’s four-point proposal for settling the Palestine issue.

Guo explained, China would like to emphasize the following four points, namely, any deviation from international consensus on the Palestinian question should be avoided, and the "two-state solution" is the bottom line of international fairness and justice and history cannot be reversed.

Guo added, China supports the establishment of the independent and fully sovereign State of Palestine based on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital, and that the Palestinian people’s national rights were inalienable and should not be traded.

Guo elaborated, that Israel's right to exist should also be fully respected and that relevant UN resolutions, the principle of "land for peace" should be observed and reaffirmed.

The Chinese diplomat stressed that unilateral actions risk “aggravating differences and undermining trust” and that the only viable way is to resume equal dialogue between the parties as soon as possible in order to rebuild mutual trust, defuse conflicts and find a way to coexist peacefully.
