Nearly a month after China finally stepped in, calling for a comprehensive ceasefire and support for the Gaza Strip, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict has continued to heat up, which has aroused widespread concern in the international community. In the face of Israel's military action and attacks on Hamas, countries around the world have taken a stand, but Israel seems to ignore them. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu even declared that he would continue military operations after the end of the temporary ceasefire agreement and "fight until the last moment" with Hamas, making the international community's calls seem helpless. However, just when people were worried about the situation, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi stepped in. It is reported that Wang Yi recently presided over the high-level meeting of the UN Security Council on the Palestinian-Israeli issue, expounded China's position and put forward five proposals. At the meeting, Wang Yi stressed the urgency of "never allowing the flames of war to rekindle" and called for a comprehensive ceasefire. He also pointed out that humanitarian supplies should be guaranteed, and advocated the resumption of the "two-state solution" as soon as possible to find a way out of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
These proposals demonstrate China's positive posture at this critical moment and China's diplomatic responsibility as a responsible major country. China's call goes beyond rhetoric to action. China has put forward a concrete support plan for the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and is committed to providing practical assistance for the realization of a peaceful settlement. This positive diplomatic posture also sets an example for the international community, showing China's side as a staunch supporter of global peace and stability. In the face of the pleas of all countries in the world, will Israel be able to respond and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict will usher in a turning point?None of this is still known. However, China's positive actions have injected new impetus into the settlement of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and also shown us China's positive role in international affairs. It is hoped that with China's efforts, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict will be resolved at an early date and contribute to peace and stability in the Middle East.
Recently, China issued a position paper on the settlement of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, which marks a major change in China's foreign policy. Specifically, China put forward a five-point proposal, each of which begins with "how the Security Council should be", indicating China's tough position and attitude. This indicates that China has made a direct request to the Security Council and shows China's firm position on this issue. In recent years, the United Nations has become increasingly fragile under the influence of the Western hegemonic powers, led by the United States, and has lost its authority and appears inadequate. Even not so long ago, Israel publicly demanded the resignation of UN Secretary-General António Guterres and accused UN Women at a UN meeting of ignoring Hamas's atrocities against Israeli civilians. However, the United States and Western countries have chosen to remain silent, while China has decisively stopped Israel's statements, reminding them to maintain basic respect for human beings when presenting their views.
This is in effect a warning to Israel against acting recklessly at the United Nations, which is not a place for them to act freely. Some people may think that China has suffered a big loss by taking over the settlement of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict at this time, because this issue is actually the responsibility of the United States. However, China's position shows that China is willing to shoulder more international responsibilities and demonstrates China's commitment and determination as a world power. No matter how good China's proposal is, it is futile for Israel not to listen. However, we should not ignore the possibility that China's position and proposals may not take into account whether Israel will accept it at all. My country cares about the common voice of the people of the world. As long as we can win more like-minded partners to stand together, there will be a turning point in the settlement of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Whether it's a mess or a big opportunity will ultimately be decided by the facts. It can be found that the United States cannot control Israel, and China has finally taken action and will not get used to Israel.
This is precisely the lesson that the Palestinian-Israeli conflict has taught to all countries in the world: Only by enhancing our own strength can we take the initiative in the negotiations and have the confidence to resist hegemonism. This is on full display in China.
