today (19th), foreign ministry spokesperson lin jian hosted a regular press conference.

a reporter asked: on september 18, local time, the 10th emergency special session of the united nations general assembly passed a resolution with 124 votes in favor, 14 votes against, and 43 abstentions, requiring israel to end its illegal occupation of palestinian territory within 12 months. in the vote, china voted in favor, while the united states and israel voted against. we note that this is also the first time that the state of palestine, as a un observer, has proposed a draft resolution at the general assembly. what is china's comment on this?

lin jian said that the draft resolution on israel's advisory opinion on the occupied palestinian territories was passed by the un general assembly at its emergency special session yesterday, and china welcomes and appreciates it. china supports the draft resolution and voted in favor of it, and hopes that the resolution will be fully implemented. it has been a year since the outbreak of this round of gaza conflict. although the palestinian issue is urgent, the un general assembly has held four meetings, the security council has passed four resolutions, the international court of justice has issued an order for provisional measures, and the international community has repeatedly called for a ceasefire and an end to the war, but the fighting in gaza is still going on, and the number of innocent civilian casualties is rising every day, causing a serious humanitarian disaster. ending the war is not a choice, but an obligation. a ceasefire and an end to the war is not the appeal of one country, but an international consensus. the implementation of the two-state solution is the only viable way to resolve the palestinian issue. the relevant parties, especially israel, should earnestly implement the relevant resolutions of the security council and the general assembly, immediately stop military operations in gaza, and stop illegal settlement activities in the west bank. the relevant countries should take a responsible attitude and take concrete actions to promote the implementation of relevant un resolutions. china will continue to stand on the side of peace, justice and the vast majority of countries, maintain close communication with all parties, play an active and constructive role in promoting a ceasefire and ending the war, alleviating the humanitarian crisis, and restoring regional peace and stability, and promote an early comprehensive, just and lasting solution to the palestinian issue.
