China Condemns Trump’s Proposal to Relocate Gazans
China has expressed strong opposition to U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent proposal to relocate Palestinians from Gaza and for the United States to assume control over the territory. The Chinese Foreign Ministry emphasized its stance against forced displacement and reiterated support for the legitimate national rights of the Palestinian people.
China’s Firm Stance Against Forced Displacement
A spokesperson from China’s Foreign Ministry stated, “Gaza is the Gaza of Palestinians, an integral part of the Palestinian territory, not a political bargaining chip, let alone the target of a law of the jungle.” This statement underscores China’s position that any future arrangements concerning Gaza must respect the will and independent choice of the Palestinian people and should not be imposed upon them.
International Backlash Against the Proposal
President Trump’s proposal has faced widespread international condemnation. The United Nations Secretary-General, António Guterres, warned against any form of ethnic cleansing, emphasizing the need to avoid forced displacement of Palestinians. Regional powers, including Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Egypt, have also rejected the plan, asserting that it violates international law and could further destabilize the region.
Support for a Two-State Solution
China has consistently advocated for a two-state solution as the fundamental approach to resolving the Palestinian issue. The Foreign Ministry spokesperson reiterated China’s readiness to work with the international community to promote an early and just political settlement, ensuring that both Israeli and Palestinian states can coexist peacefully.
Conclusion
China’s condemnation of President Trump’s proposal highlights the international community’s concern over forced displacement and the importance of respecting the rights and choices of the Palestinian people. The emphasis remains on seeking a peaceful and just resolution through established international frameworks and mutual respect.
