International community should join hands to help with reconstruction of Gaza: FM spokesperson
(ECNS) -- Gaza is an inalienable part of the territory of Palestine, not a bargaining chip for political games, still less a prey of the strong, said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun at a press conference on Thursday.
There have been reports that U.S. President Donald Trump proposed to “clear out” and take over Gaza. This proposal has encountered extensive opposition from the international community.
The war has already left Gaza in devastation and suffering. The international community, major countries in particular, should join hands to make Gaza better, rather than worse, by providing humanitarian assistance and helping with its reconstruction, Guo said.
China firmly supports the legitimate national rights of the Palestinian people, believes that “the Palestinians governing Palestine” is an important principle that must be upheld in the post-conflict governance of Gaza, and opposes the forced displacement of the people of Gaza, the spokesperson added.
China stands ready to work with the rest of the world for the realization of the two-State solution as the fundamental way forward and for an early, just political settlement of the Palestinian question, namely, the establishment of an independent State of Palestine that enjoys full sovereignty based on the 1967 border and with east Jerusalem as its capital, he concluded.?
