Xi says commitment to two-State solution should not be wavered at will in solving Palestinian-Israeli conflict

Chinese President Xi Jinping on Thursday said war should not continue indefinitely, justice should not be absent forever, and commitment to the two-State solution should not be wavered at will.

Xi made the remarks as he delivered a keynote speech at the opening ceremony of the 10th ministerial conference of the China-Arab States Cooperation Forum in Beijing.

Noting the escalating Palestinian-Israeli conflict has thrown the people into tremendous suffering, Xi called for justice and a ceasefire.

"The Middle East is a land bestowed with broad prospects for development, but the war is still raging on it. Since last October, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict has escalated drastically, plunging the people there into tremendous sufferings. War should not continue indefinitely, justice should not be absent forever, and commitment to the two-State solution should not be wavered at will," Xi said.

"China firmly supports the establishment of an independent State of Palestine which enjoys full sovereignty on the basis of the 1967 borders and with East Jerusalem as its capital. China supports Palestine's full membership in the United Nations, and supports the convening of a more broad-based, authoritative and effective international peace conference," he said.

Xi noted China will continue to provide assistance to help ease the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and support post-conflict reconstruction, and support the work of the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East in providing emergency humanitarian assistance to Gaza.
