GENEVA, Sept. 30 (Xinhua) — China's Permanent Representative to the United Nations Office and other international organizations in Geneva, Chen Xu, called on the international community to accelerate efforts to resolve the Palestinian issue at the 60th session of the UN Human Rights Council (HRC) on Monday.

The diplomat made this statement during the general debate on the seventh agenda item, dedicated to the human rights situation in Palestine and other occupied Arab territories.

Chen Xu stated that the current round of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict has dragged on for two years, leading to an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe. Despite this, Israel continues to advance its plan to take control of Gaza, accelerates its gradual seizure of territory in the West Bank, and carries out airstrikes against Hamas members participating in peace talks in Qatar, the Permanent Representative noted.

These actions, he said, constitute gross violations of international law, seriously infringe on the right to existence and development of Palestinians and residents of neighboring countries, and directly undermine stability in the Middle East.

Chen Xu called on the international community to attach great importance to the Palestinian issue, intensify efforts to resolve it, achieve a comprehensive ceasefire in Gaza, intensify the implementation of the “two states for two peoples” plan, and safeguard peace and stability in the region.
