Why it matters:
This warning highlights growing international concern over the Israeli regime’s genocide in the West Bank and Gaza, which has already exacerbated tensions in the region and undermined peace efforts.
The big picture:
Beijing's response reflects broader global apprehension about the impact of the Israeli regime’s settlement expansion on the prospects for a two-state solution, a key element for resolving the Palestinian issue.
What he's saying:
"Gaza and the West Bank are both inseparable parts of Palestinian territory, and the two-state solution is considered the fundamental path for resolving the Palestinian issue," said spokesperson Lin Jian in today’s press conference.
Key points:
The Palestinian Authority has condemned the Israeli cabinet's approval of proposals related to settlement expansion, describing these actions as attempts to undermine the historical rights of Palestinians. Reports indicate that the Israeli defense and finance ministers are moving towards implementing decisions that deepen the practical annexation of the West Bank.
