China-Israel’s relations are solid and sound, based on common understandings and commitments. We might have disagreements on various policies, but nonetheless we regard each other in a respectable and dignified manner.

The war that broke out on the 7th of October, is a war against one sole cause – to dismantle completely the military and administrative capabilities of the genocidal jihadist terror organization which is called HAMAS.

A reminder to you all of Hamas’s charter published in 1988, which clearly cites its goals as a terror organization: “Israel will exist until Islam will obliterate it”, “there is no solution to the Palestinian problem except by JIHAD”, “the day of judgement will not come about until Muslims fight Jews and kill them all”. So very clear that HAMAS is not a benevolent organization with pure administrative motives as the sole ruler in the Gaza strip but a brutal jihadist organization that aspires to kill and murder in order to establish an Islamic caliphate in the whole Middle East and beyond.

Hamas has not provided any administrative services to the poor Gazans, but used all donations and financial resources to build a huge military machine to kill Israelis and Palestinians as well.

This is HAMAS that China shuns away from recognizing as a terrorist organization.

The Global Security Initiative, officially published by the PRC’s government in February 2023, reads: “We encourage all countries to work together to address regional disputes and global challenges such as TERRORISM” (end of quote).

Isn’t it clear enough that all countries, China included, should fight against terrorism and annihilate it from its roots?

The world supported the global initiative to fight against yet one other Jihadist organization, ISIS, it should support all efforts to fight against the Jihadism of HAMAS.

We expect China to officially voice out in its official briefings, that Hamas is a terrorist organization that committed a brutal massacre of innocent civilians on October 7th and should therefore be harshly condemned. China, as an important player in the global scene and a permanent member of the security council, should do all it can to secure the safe and unconditional return of the 230 hostages, and to prevent the escalation of tension in the region. We trust that China supports Israel’s legitimate right, to provide full security to its citizens and to defend its territorial integrity when unilaterally attacked. Other Governments will react in self defense in similar situations.
