President Xi Jinping stressed that the Palestinian question is the core of the Middle East issue, and efforts to resolve it should be guided by four principles.
1️⃣ We must uphold political settlement, adhere to the two-State solution as the right direction, work for the resumption of peace talks between Palestine and Israel, and realize the early establishment of an independent State of Palestine.
2️⃣ We must uphold the principle of Palestinians governing Palestine. Palestine is the homeland of all Palestinians. The principle of Palestinians governing Palestine should be followed in advancing the governance of the West Bank and postwar reconstruction of Gaza.
3️⃣ We must uphold humanitarianism. The international community, particularly the U.N. Security Council, should truly take up the responsibility to keep civilians safe, ensure the delivery of humanitarian assistance, and put an end to humanitarian disasters.
4️⃣ We must uphold fairness and justice. We should act on the basis of international rule of law, aim at addressing both the symptoms and root causes, and take practical actions to realize a comprehensive, just and lasting resolution of the Palestinian question at an early date.
