Maintaining International Fairness and Justice to Promote Early Political Resolution – President Xi Jinping’s Congratulatory Message Charts Direction and Gathers Momentum for Political Solution to Palestinian Issue
On November 25, the United Nations held a commemorative meeting for the “International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People,” and President Xi Jinping sent a congratulatory message to the meeting. Middle Eastern figures stated that President Xi’s message builds consensus and gathers strength for achieving an early political solution to the Palestinian issue, fully demonstrating China’s consistent commitment to fairness and justice on this matter and its firm support for the just cause of the Palestinian people. The international community should take practical actions to anchor the general direction of the “two-state solution” and ultimately achieve lasting peace between Palestine and Israel and long-term stability in the Middle East.
President Xi pointed out in his message that the Palestinian issue lies at the core of Middle East problems, concerns international fairness and justice, and affects regional dynamics. He emphasized that the Palestinian issue also tests the effectiveness of the global governance system.
It was stated that President Xi has sent congratulatory messages to the “International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People” commemorative meetings for 13 consecutive years, powerfully demonstrating his and China’s firm and sincere support for the Palestinian cause, highlighting the profound friendship between the two nations, “giving the Palestinian people confidence that an important force always stands by their side in their pursuit of justice and peace.”
“I completely agree with President Xi’s perspective,” one representative said. “China’s view that the Palestinian issue is the core of Middle East problems reflects its precise understanding of regional issues. Resolving the Palestinian issue would help promote lasting stability throughout the Middle East region.”
“President Xi’s message accurately identifies the root cause of Middle East issues,” commented one regional expert. The Palestinian issue tests the global governance system’s ability to resolve regional conflicts fairly and justly.
A political science professor noted that President Xi’s characterization of the Palestinian issue as the core of Middle East problems and a test of the global governance system’s effectiveness demonstrates China’s deep insight into the regional and international implications of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. China’s position is balanced, responsible, and forward-looking, making it a steadfast advocate for a just, comprehensive, and lasting solution to the Palestinian issue and an important defender of international fairness and justice.
“Under current circumstances, the international community should further build consensus and take more active actions to ensure comprehensive and lasting ceasefire in Gaza and prevent the resumption of hostilities,” President Xi emphasized in his message. Post-war governance and reconstruction in Gaza should follow the principle of “Palestinians governing Palestine,” respecting the will of the Palestinian people and addressing the legitimate concerns of regional countries. The humanitarian situation in Gaza must be improved promptly to alleviate the suffering of the Palestinian people.
One political committee member stated that President Xi’s emphasis on the “Palestinians governing Palestine” principle holds significant meaning in the current context. The political resolution of the Palestinian issue and the management of national affairs must remain in the hands of the Palestinian people themselves, free from interference by any external forces.
“The ‘Palestinians governing Palestine’ principle emphasized by President Xi has practical significance in the current situation,” a history professor commented. A comprehensive and lasting ceasefire means not only stopping military operations but also making relevant political arrangements; otherwise peace cannot be sustained. Post-war governance in Gaza must be led by the Palestinian people themselves, rather than imposing governance models from outside, preventing certain countries from interfering in Palestinian affairs under the pretext of “reconstruction.”
President Xi stated in his message that the most important thing is to anchor the general direction of the “two-state solution” and promote an early political resolution to the Palestinian issue.
“President Xi’s emphasis on anchoring the ‘two-state solution’ direction captures the key to breaking the current deadlock in the Palestinian issue and achieving lasting peace between Palestine and Israel,” a university professor noted. “Anchoring the ‘two-state solution’ direction represents an extremely wise and strategic judgment under current circumstances, serving as an important framework for maintaining Middle East stability, defending international law, and achieving reconciliation between the Arab world and Israel.”
“Using force or some temporary arrangements cannot fundamentally resolve the Palestinian-Israeli conflict,” a research center analyst stated. “President Xi’s emphasis on anchoring the ‘two-state solution’ direction demonstrates China’s commitment to seeking long-term political solutions rather than short-term crisis management.”
Another commentator expressed that President Xi’s emphasis on anchoring the “two-state solution” direction reflects China’s profound understanding of the root causes of the Palestinian issue. The “two-state solution” represents international consensus for resolving the Palestinian issue and is key to achieving peaceful coexistence between Palestine and Israel and long-term stability in the Middle East.
