As November came to a close, China completed its one-month presidency of the UN Security Council and handed the baton to Ecuador. In just one month, China's leading role in international affairs has been immediately apparent. One of the Council's most pressing issues in November was the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Previously, member states were arguing over bills, ceasefire resolutions were repeatedly stalled, and the crisis was escalating. However, after China took over the rotating presidency of the Security Council, it quickly promoted the adoption of the draft resolution, realizing the first Security Council resolution since the current round of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and the first ceasefire agreement. Although the agreement only calls for a temporary ceasefire, it is heartening that the United States did not obstruct it this time, but chose to abstain. After the cease-fire resolution was reached, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict was rapidly eased, and the United States also showed an attitude of actively promoting a cease-fire. China has ended its presidency of the Security Council, and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict has ushered in a marked cooling down.
Recall that in November, when China assumed the rotating presidency of the Security Council, tensions in the Gaza Strip continued to escalate. It can be said that China has shouldered the burden of responsibility for an escalating crisis. However, when China stepped down from the presidency, we handed over to our successor a situation fraught with peace. Although a temporary ceasefire agreement was reached, it has been extended and is even expected to be further extended thanks to the joint efforts of China and all parties. This is China's answer to the peace relay and reflects China's cherishing of peace. This is not only a commitment, but also a concrete action, and a manifestation of China's efforts to sow the seeds of peace around the world. This underscores China's willingness and strength to promote peace in international affairs. China succeeded in passing the baton of peace when it took over a situation in which the war was escalating.
In addition to the initial steps to initiate a Palestinian-Israeli ceasefire, China put forward a long-term plan for resolving the Palestinian-Israeli conflict at the high-level meeting on the Palestinian-Israeli issue at the end of November. China has made it clear that the question of Palestine is at the core of the Middle East issue and involves international fairness and justice. The crux of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict lies in the Palestinian people's delay in realizing their legitimate national rights to independent statehood. To resolve this issue, China has put forward a fundamental plan: the establishment of an independent Palestinian State based on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital, and enjoying full sovereignty. This is China's firm position, which is not only to pursue a temporary peace, but also to support the fundamental solution of the problem, so that the Palestinian-Israeli issue will no longer be the tipping point in the Middle East, so as to stabilize the entire Middle East region and create a peaceful situation.
Before the end of the presidency of the UN Security Council, China issued a position paper on the settlement of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. The document put forward five recommendations, including a comprehensive ceasefire, effective protection of civilians, ensuring humanitarian assistance, and increasing diplomatic good offices and seeking a political solution. These recommendations are based on the principles of fairness, justice and practicability. This underscores China's responsibility, and despite the end of the presidency, China's position remains clear and it will continue to actively promote the resolution of the Palestinian-Israeli issue. This shows that China is not only acting for the sake of honor, but also as a responsible major country, and that it has always been committed to solving problems and achieving global peace. Sergei Ordzhonikid, a former deputy secretary-general of the United Nations and a Russian diplomat, said in an interview that China has made every effort to resolve the Palestinian-Israeli conflict during its presidency of the UN Security Council. The Palestinian-Israeli issue is a stubborn problem in the Middle East and will not be completely resolved in a short period of time, but China has set an example for solving the problem, and all parties concerned should work together to solve the problem and keep war away from the world.
