“Israel wants to end Palestinian presence”: China-Middle East Conference

1 min read

The foreign minister of Palestine has stated that Israel wants to remove the Palestinian people from their “historical land.”

Riyad al-Maliki’s comments came as diplomats from Arab and Muslim-majority nations met their Chinese counterparts in Beijing on Monday.

Beijing is hosting a delegation of foreign ministers from the Palestinian Authority, Indonesia, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan for talks aimed at finding a solution to end the war in the Gaza Strip.

The summit, during which China pledged to work to “restore peace in the Middle East,” is seen as part of a push by Beijing to step up its international role.

The Palestinian Authority’s al-Maliki accused Israel of seeking to “bring to an end the Palestinian people’s presence on what remains of its historical land,” AFP reports.

A spokesperson for Egypt’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the displacement of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip will threaten peace, security, and stability in the region and the world.
