China has condemned US President Donald Trump’s threat to kick out the people of Gaza from their homeland.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Guo Jiakun, said at a news conference that Trump was overreaching himself as Gaza is not part of the United State.
The Chinese spokesman reminded Trump that Gaza belongs to the Palestinian people and not a political bargaining chip
He said: “Gaza belongs to the Palestinian people. It is an inalienable part of the territory of Palestine, not a bargaining chip for political games”.
Spaeking further Jiakun said that Palestine should not become a prey of the strong, noting that 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”.
He expressed China’s commitment to supporting the legitimate national rights of the Palestinian people, believing that “the Palestinians governing Palestine” is an important principle that must be upheld in Gaza’s post-conflict governance, and opposing the forced displacement of Gazans.
China he said, “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”.
