On November 26, 2024, President Xi Jinping sent a congratulatory message to a UN Special Commemorative Meeting in observance of the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People.

Xi Jinping pointed out that the Palestinian question lies at the heart of the Middle East issue. It is a matter of international fairness and justice. The pressing task is to comprehensively and effectively implement the relevant UN Security Council resolutions, realize ceasefire as soon as possible and ease the regional situation. The fundamental way out is to implement the two-State solution and promote the political settlement of the Palestinian question, establish an independent Palestinian state enjoying full sovereignty on the basis of the 1967 border with East Jerusalem as its capital, and ensure the right of the Palestinian people to statehood, their right to existence and their right of return.

Xi Jinping stressed that China has always been a staunch supporter of the just cause of the Palestinian people to restore their legitimate national rights, and has always supported all Palestinian factions in strengthening unity and implementing the Beijing Declaration on Ending Division and Strengthening Palestinian National Unity to realize internal reconciliation. China firmly supports Palestine in becoming a full UN member and supports the convening of a more broad-based, authoritative and effective international peace conference. China will continue to work with the international community to promote an end to the fighting and the killing, support the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) in continuing to provide humanitarian assistance to the people in Gaza, and bring the Palestinian question back onto the right track of the two-State solution, with a view to achieving a comprehensive, just and lasting solution at an early date.
