Why It Matters:
Displacing Gaza residents in neighboring countries and disregarding their fundamental land rights could lead to negative repercussions for the West Asian region in the future.
The Big Picture:
US President Donald Trump on Tuesday said the United States “will take over” the Gaza Strip and Palestinians who live there should leave, a scenario which will lead to the displacement of millions to the region and dramatically reorient the Middle East.
Trump's comments have sparked outrage among Palestinian factions, highlighting the ongoing tensions and the struggle for Palestinian rights amidst a backdrop of violence and displacement.
What He Is Saying:
Lin Jian emphasized that China has always believed that "the Palestinians should govern Palestine," adding that they oppose any forced relocation and displacement of Gaza residents.
Key Points:
- The U.S. President's decision is against the peace and stability in the region.
- All parties should recognize the Palestinian government in Palestine and address the remaining disputes through political means.
- Palestinians govern Palestine.
