China warmly welcomed four Arab foreign ministers and the Indonesian one to the Beijing on Monday 20th November, 2023 and his foreign minister said his country would work with “our brothers and sisters” in the Arab and Islamic world to try to end the war in Ghaza as soon as possible. The ministers from Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, the Palestinian Authority and Indonesia chose to start in Beijing a tour to permanent members of United Nations Security Council, a testament to both China’s growing geopolitical influence and its longstanding support for the Palestinians. Western countries and USA always betrayed Arabs and Muslims and its aggression in Afghanistan and Iraq annoyed 1.75 billion Muslims around the world and further to their support to Isreali atrocities, genocide in Ghaza threw petrol to the fire. China contrary to west has adopted a very balanced policies and kept “ peace and development” on top of its priorities. Western Countries led by United States of America always preferred to stimulate controversy and war and their hands are red with bloods of Vietnamese, Iraqis, Afghanis and Palestinians. There are about 13,000 people had been killed by Israel in Ghaza including 5000 children. Even hospitals, refugees’ camps, schools, residence of civilians were not spared and damaged by bombardment. All efforts to restore peace in Palestine was sabotaged by USA using veto power in favour of Isreal. Millions of people came out on streets in more than 150 countries, more than 1000 resolutions were passed but Isreal due to unjustified, biased support of USA, UK, Germany, France and India refused to restore peace. American influence in Muslim countries is declining and more and more Muslims are turning towards China and Russia.
The ministers from Arab and Muslim countries stressed the need for an immediate stop to “military escalation” in Ghaza and to accelerate political process and dialogue to stop Israeli genocide and try to achieve goal of lasting peace. The ministers hold the Israeli occupation and gross violation of human rights in Palestine accountable for the blatant violations and crimes in the Ghaza Strip and occupied West Bank”. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi told the foreign diplomats that their decision to start in Beijing shows their high level of trust in China and said, “China is a good friend and brother of Arab and Islamic countries,”. He further said, “We have always firmly safeguarded the legitimate rights and interests of Arab and Islamic countries and have always firmly supported the just cause of Palestinian people.”
The Saudi foreign minister, Prince Faisal Farhan Al Saud, called for an immediate cease-fire and the entry of humanitarian aid and relief to the Ghaza strip. There are still dangerous developments ahead of us and an urgent humanitarian crisis that requires an international mobilization to deal with and counter it” he further said. All urged on the implementation of the resolution adopted by the United nations Security Council. The visit came after Arab and Muslim leaders condemned the brutal aggression against the Palestinians at a joint summit of Arab League and Organization of Islamic Cooperation hosted by Saudi Arabia last week. The Secretary General of the OIC, Hissein Brahim Taha also present on the occasion of FMs trip to China.
The Muslim Ummah and countries are already thankful to China on its successful efforts bringing Saudi Arabi and Iran two most influential Islamic countries closer.
Everybody in the world who believe that peace efforts might be succeeded and bloodshed of innocent people including children, women and elderly people must be stopped. The history will record a very bad name to all those who are criminally silent over genocide and mass killing of children in Ghaza.
