China says it opposes Trump's Gaza takeover proposal

BEIJING (Reuters) - Beijing opposes U.S. President Donald Trump's push to transfer Palestinians out of Gaza and have the U.S. take over the region, China's foreign ministry said on Thursday.

China firmly supports the legitimate national rights of the Palestinian people, ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun told a regular press briefing.

Trump on Tuesday proposed a U.S. takeover of Gaza, where Israel's military assault in the last 16 months, in response to the October 2023 attacks on Israel by Hamas militants, has killed tens of thousands, after he earlier suggested that Palestinians in the enclave should be permanently displaced.

Trump's earlier comments that Palestinians should move to Egypt and Jordan were rejected publicly by Palestinian and Arab leaders.

Other world leaders said they supported the so-called two-state solution, which envisages Israeli and Palestinian states alongside each other.

China is ready to work with the international community to take the two-state solution as the fundamental way out, and push for an early and just political settlement of the Palestinian issue, Guo said.

"Gaza is the Gaza of Palestinians, an integral part of the Palestinian territory, not a political bargaining chip, let alone the target of a law of the jungle," Guo said.
