President Xi: China Supports East al-Quds as Capital of Sovereign Palestine
Local Editor
China has openly declared that it supports the independence of a Palestinian state which has East al-Quds [Jerusalem] as its capital. Addressing the Arab League, the Chinese president also announced a $7.6mn grant for a solar power project to improve Palestinians' well-being.
Speaking for the first time at Arab League headquarters in Egypt, Chinese President Xi Jinping stressed that the Palestinian issue should not be marginalized, as he declared Beijing's support for the so-called Palestinian peace process.
"China firmly supports the Middle East peace process and supports the establishment of a State of Palestine enjoying full sovereignty on the basis of the 1967 borders and with East al-Quds [Jerusalem] as its capital," Xi told the Arab League's delegates.
The fate of al-Quds is one of the key issues in the so-called "Israeli"-Palestinian peace process. The United Nations considers East al-Quds to be occupied Palestinian territory.
The "Israeli" regime refuses to share custody of the Holy City, which it annexed in 1967. In May 2015, "Israeli" Prime Minister Netanyahu reiterated, that the "Israeli" entity "will forever keep al-Quds [Jerusalem] united under "Israeli" sovereignty."
To make "Israeli" claims stronger, the apartheid regime is continuing to build settlements in East al-Quds that are illegal under international law.
"Israeli"-Palestinian confrontations have been escalating in al-Quds with near-daily clashes between stone-throwing Palestinians and "Israeli" riot police. The violence that erupted in mid-September over tensions at al-Quds' holiest site quickly spread across the "Israeli" entity, the occupied West Bank and Gaza. Over the past four months, some 145 Palestinians were martyred by "Israeli" fire.
Xi however stressed that the Palestinian issue should not "fall into oblivion" as it is of fundamental importance to peace in the Middle East. The Chinese leader stressed that the international community should promote the resumption of the talks that collapsed in April 2014.
In the meantime to aid the Palestinian economic hardship, Beijing promised to provide 50 million Chinese Yuan [$7.6 million] in the form of a grant to support solar power station project in its territories.
