China's top diplomat said Thursday that Beijing supports "full" membership of a Palestinian state at the United Nations. "We support Palestine as an official member of the United Nations," Foreign Minister Wang Yi told a news conference.
"The disaster in Gaza has once again reminded the world that the long-standing occupation of Palestinian territory can no longer be ignored," Wang said.
The long-cherished dream of the Palestinian people, the establishment of an independent state, can no longer be avoided. It cannot continue for generations without correcting the injustices that the Palestinian people have endured for centuries.
Beijing has been calling for an immediate ceasefire since the Israel-Hamas war broke out in October last year. China is historically sympathetic to the Palestinians and supports a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. President Xi Jinping has called for an "international peace conference" to resolve the war.
