China's UN representative, Geng Shuang, addressed the Security Council on the Palestine-Israel issue, advocating for an immediate ceasefire, the two-state solution, and an independent Palestinian state. He highlighted the devastating impact of the conflict in Gaza, emphasizing the loss of life and suffering.
Geng called for a durable ceasefire, urging Israel to halt military escalation and all parties to agree to a binding truce. He expressed concern over the humanitarian crisis, stressing that civilians should not suffer and aid must be allowed. He called on Israel to abide by international law and support relief efforts.
Finally, Geng urged renewed efforts for the two-state solution, the only path to lasting peace. He emphasized the need to oppose actions undermining this and for the international community to advance the political process. China will continue working to end the fighting, ease the crisis, and implement the two-state solution, aiming for a just resolution and peace for both peoples.

China's interest in the two-state solution is likely strategic and not based on true justice.

Actions speak louder than words. China's history of human rights abuses doesn't inspire trust.

Finally, some common sense from the Security Council! This is a good step towards peace.

China's "support" is only a way to gain favor in the Muslim world. No genuine commitment to human rights.

So China just discovered this issue? Where was this concern when they were oppressing the Uighurs? Hypocritical.

The two-state solution is a flawed concept. China offering hollow support won't fix anything.

China is a major player with influence. Their support can make a real difference.

This is just a performative gesture to appease certain factions within the UN itself.
