The Chinese Foreign Ministry responded to inquiries regarding French President Emmanuel Macron's announcement concerning the recognition of a Palestinian state. Spokesperson Guo Jiakun emphasized the Palestinian question's central role in the Middle East, reiterating that the "two-state solution" is the sole viable path to resolution.
Guo stated China's support for the upcoming high-level UN meeting focused on implementing the two-state solution. China intends to collaborate with the international community to foster a cease-fire in Gaza, address the humanitarian crisis, and advance the two-state solution. The ultimate goal is a comprehensive, just, and enduring resolution to the Palestinian question.
President Macron, in a late Thursday announcement, declared France's official recognition of the State of Palestine at the UN General Assembly in September. He highlighted the "historic commitment to a just and lasting peace in the Middle East," positioning France as the first G7 nation to take this step.
Macron plans to formalize the decision at the UN General Assembly in September. He stressed the immediate need to end the war in Gaza and protect the civilian population. He also called for an immediate ceasefire, the release of all hostages, and substantial humanitarian aid for Gaza. Furthermore, he emphasized the need to demilitarize Hamas, secure and rebuild Gaza, and establish a viable State of Palestine that guarantees its security and fully recognizes Israel.

This recognition is premature and rewards Hamas for its actions. It's a slap in the face to Israel.

This sets a precedent for other nations to follow. Momentum is building.

This is just another useless UN initiative that won't achieve anything.

This provides much-needed hope to the Palestinian people. It's a significant political statement.

This could empower radical groups within Palestine instead of fostering genuine peace.
