Over the course of a century, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been like an intricate geopolitical jigsaw puzzle with countless stories and unsolved mysteries.
A message, a statement, an air strike, every action can change the trajectory of history. So, what role did China play in this long conflict?When you understand the history behind it, the truth will emerge little by little.
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict, also known as the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, is a complex geopolitical conflict that involves multiple historical periods, geopolitical changes, and multifaceted religious, nationalist, and territorial disputes.
From the Zionist movement during the late Ottoman Empire, to the Balfour Declaration under the British Mandate, to the United Nations partition plan and the establishment of Israel, and subsequent key historical events such as the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, the 1967 Six-Day War, the 1973 Yom Kippur War, and the 1993 Oslo Accords, tensions and conflicts in the region have endured for nearly a century.
The ongoing tensions of the conflict stem from a number of core issues, such as the determination of borders, the ownership of refugees and the status of Jerusalem, which have not yet been finally resolved.
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is not only a geopolitical rivalry, but also a cultural and religious conflict that further complicates the issue.
Against such a historical background and in a complex situation, China's position on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is based on a deep understanding of this historical background.
China's Governor Wang Yi said that China opposes and condemns all acts that harm civilians, and that Israel's actions against Gaza "go beyond the scope of self-defense."
China supports the just cause of restoring Palestinian national rights and bringing the Palestinian issue back on the right track of the two-state solution.
It can be said that China's position on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is in line with the humanitarian spirit of the United Nations and is consistent with the views of most peace-loving countries in the world. However, Israel has repeatedly asked China to side with them and condemn Hamas's "terrorist attacks."
With regard to these demands, China has always taken a fair attitude and clearly expressed its position in accordance with the historical context and merits of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. With regard to the historical injustice of Palestine, China believes that it cannot continue.
Israel does not agree with or accept China's position and proposal, and even issued a statement saying that it is "disappointed" that China has not explicitly and unequivocally condemned Hamas.
On October 16, China announced that it was providing emergency humanitarian assistance to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East and the Palestinian National Authority.
Later in the day, however, the Iranian embassy in China released information that Israel had blown up the warehouse of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East in Gaza, which was clearly an act against China.
China's offer to return to the 1967 borders is a compromise that could give Israel about 78 percent of its territory.
However, Israel has rejected this initiative outright, and it seems that it only wants to obtain 100 per cent of Palestinian territory and wants to expel the Palestinians completely.
The statements of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Isaac Herzog, as well as statements by senior military officers, show their ruthless attitude towards Gaza.
What is even more outrageous is that Israel has used white phosphorus bomb air strikes against the civilian population in Gaza, and this cruel ** will burn on the human body until it is burned to ashes. Such an act has caused great indignation in the international community.
And to the question of whether Gazans should go **, the answer of the former Israeli foreign minister reveals ruthlessness towards the Palestinians and greed for territory.
Iran's Raisi posted on social media in response to the bombing of a hospital in Gaza, strongly condemning the actions of the United States and Israel.
Zionism has been accused of being the source of chaos in the Middle East, and their actions have led to the deaths of a large number of Palestinians.
China's two-state solution aims to defuse Israeli-Palestinian hatred and achieve lasting peace, but Israel's rejection and continued violence will only exacerbate the situation.
In the midst of Hamas's air strikes on Israel, there was a 1,500-strong air death squad, young fighters who put up a desperate resistance in powered paragliders, but all of them were killed.
They act out of grief for their families and anger against oppression. China's proposed "two-state solution" is a possible solution to this tragedy, but Israel's refusal and continued violence have left peace elusive.
China's support for a Palestinian-Israeli peace settlement demonstrates its understanding of the historical context and complexity of the conflict, as well as China's commitment to international peace and justice.
China will continue to support the just cause of the Palestinian people in their struggle for national rights, and calls on the international community to work together to promote the peace process and realize that the Palestinian and Israeli peoples live side by side in peace and security.
