China News Service, Beijing, May 14 (Li Jingze) In response to the US’s exclusive obstruction of the UN Security Council’s voice on the Palestinian-Israeli situation, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying said at a regular press conference on the 14th that the US should recognize the Palestinian Muslims’ Life is equally precious.
A reporter asked that the open meeting of the Security Council on the Palestinian-Israeli issue originally scheduled to be held today had to be postponed until the 16th due to the obstruction of the United States. What is China’s response to this?
In China’s opinion, what could be the reason for the US request for the delay?
Under the current crisis, the postponement of the meeting will have a catastrophic impact on the lives and safety of the Palestinian people. Does China consider other possible ways to restore stability?
Hua Chunying said that the current tension between Palestine and Israel is escalating, and the international community is highly concerned and deeply concerned about this.
As the rotating presidency of the United Nations Security Council in May, China has been actively mediating and has promoted the convening of two emergency consultations of the Security Council to discuss the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Council members generally expressed concern and worries about the conflict situation and asked the Council to play its due role to promote the stability and cooling of the situation and prevent loss of control.
"But it is very regrettable that the United States exclusively opposed the publication of the President’s press statement during the emergency consultations held by the Security Council on May 10. In the second emergency consultations held on May 12, almost all the members of the Security Council supported the issue of Palestine. The situation made brief media comments, but the United States continued to read exclusively to obstruct the Council’s voice and once again stood on the opposite side of the international community.” Hua Chunying pointed out.
"Why is the United States doing this? We also want to ask the United States this question." Hua Chunying said that the United States keeps saying that it cares about the human rights of Muslims, but now that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has revived, a large number of Palestinian Muslims have been involved in war and suffering.
However, the United States is indifferent to their lives and deaths, and even violently obstructs them at the expense of the world.
She continued to point out that the United States has also cooperated with a few countries such as Germany and the United Kingdom and a few very few allies to organize meaningless meetings on Xinjiang-related issues based on lies and political prejudice in the name of the United Nations.
"This is a political farce. Why did the United States do this?"
"The United States should realize that the lives of Palestinian Muslims are equally precious." Hua Chunying said that member and foreign minister Wang Yiguo proposed a five-point initiative to achieve security and stability in the Middle East during a visit to Middle Eastern countries in March this year, including the need to uphold fairness, justice, and resolution. Good Palestine issue.
Hua Chunying said that in the face of the current severe situation, we must make every effort to cool the situation, protect the safety and rights of ordinary people, and prevent the crisis from escalating out of control. China will continue to push the Security Council to perform its duties of maintaining international peace and security, take action on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as soon as possible, reiterate its commitment and firm support for the "two-state solution", and promote the restoration of peace and stability on the ground as soon as possible.
