New Delhi: The Israel-Hamas war is in the news again due to the recent attack by Israel in Rafah. That is why China has jumped into it. Chinese President Xi Jinping called a summit of Arab and Islamic countries in Beijing on Thursday. In which the slogan of Free Palestine was raised showing sympathy towards the Palestinians. Along with this, the establishment of China RB-States-Co-operative Forum was also announced. In his inaugural speech, he said, 'The Palestine-Israel conflict has increased since last October. In such a situation, people have to bear a lot of trouble. The war should not continue indefinitely.
Along with this, he also announced aid of 500 million yuan, 869 million dollars for the Palestinians in Gaza. Along with this, he also reiterated the two state formula (two-nation theory).
According to the Palestinian Health Ministry, more than 36,000 Palestinians have been killed so far. Along with Arab and Islamic countries, China is also supporting Palestine.
Last Saturday itself, 45 people were killed in an Israeli attack in Gaza (in Rafah). After this, Israel was strongly criticized internationally.
China has been supporting the Palestinians for a long time. Israel has also been condemned. Despite this, America is supporting Israel by giving weapons, money etc. and cites Hamas' attack on southern Israel on 7 October 2023 as the reason for the war.
It is well known that the US does not do this at all, so China has announced to provide aid to the Palestinians. In fact, in 2004 itself, China has formed the China-Arab-States Cooperative Forum. In 2023, they also facilitated reconciliation between Iran and Saudi Arabia. Earlier this role was played by the US and European countries.
The Israel-Hamas war is beneficial for China. Therefore, America's attention has shifted from the Indo-Pacific region. Also, India's efforts to build an economic corridor to Europe through the Middle East route have also been hampered. Although it has not affected China's Belt and Road Initiative, analysts say that the war there has been beneficial for China.
