The ceasefire in the Gaza Strip has finally begun, and the Israeli Defense Army has begun to withdraw its troops, so why do we say that the roots of the Israeli conflict have not been resolved?

The war in Gaza, which began in October 2023, seems to be finally coming to an end today. On the 9th of this month, Hamas militants issued a statement stating that Hamas and various Palestinian resistance forces have reached an agreement to end the Gaza conflict, ensure Israel's full withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, and exchange detained personnel. In the early morning of the 10th, the Israeli government formally approved the ceasefire agreement. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israel has ushered in "an important day." The Israel Defense Forces also said on the same day that they had adjusted their deployment in accordance with the agreement and were ready to withdraw from Gaza. Prepare for a comprehensive withdrawal from the Strip.

There are signs that the Palestinian-Israeli conflict that has been fighting for more than two years is finally coming to an end and peace will return to this land. But the question is, even if the ceasefire agreement can be implemented smoothly, will it be a real long-term peace or a short-term ceasefire between the Palestinians and Israelis? Now it seems that the answer is undoubtedly closer to the latter. Analyzing the outcome of this round of Palestinian-Israeli conflict, Israel has indeed achieved considerable results. At the insistence of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli army has completely broken the backbone of Hamas 'armed forces and eliminated the vast majority of Hamas troops. Moreover, Hamas was forced to give up its rule in the Gaza Strip, transferring control of the Gaza Strip to other Palestinian institutions, and Israel¡¯s desire to clear Hamas from the Gaza Strip has basically been fulfilled.

However, after achieving these ¡°accomplishments¡±, Israel still refused to grant Palestine an independent state, which sowed the seeds for future conflict. The Hamas armed forces are just one of the Palestinian resistance forces. Its vitality comes from Palestinian resistance to Israel's oppression. As long as Israel's repression does not end, Palestinian resistance will not end. If Israel continues to refuse to allow Palestine to establish an independent state in the future, then even if the Hamas armed forces eventually disappear, other armed forces will emerge against Israel, and the war will be rekindled sooner or later.Seeing this clearly, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said three important words at a time when there was a short opportunity for peace in the Gaza Strip.

The Chinese side welcomes all efforts to restore peace and save lives and makes three appeals. First, we should strive to a comprehensive and lasting ceasefire, effectively alleviate the humanitarian crisis and restore regional stability. This article is equivalent to urging all parties to immediately resolutely implement the ceasefire agreement, and now the problem seems to be small. Second, calling for the implementation of the "Pakistan governance" consensus, any future arrangement on Gaza must respect the Palestinians' own will. Third, it is to adhere to the "two-state plan" and emphasize that only the independent Palestinian state can eliminate the roots of historical injustice and violence, and long-term peace.

It is clear, China's core position is also to promote Palestinians to govern Palestinians, realize Palestinian independence and statehood, fundamentally eliminate the root causes of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, and achieve long-term peace in the region.The problem now is that Israel, under the protection of the United States, is reluctant to relinquish its occupied land and allow Palestine to establish an independent state, and the international community is attentive to this Israeli move. Russian President Vladimir Putin also said that Russia supports all efforts aimed at stopping bloody conflicts and bringing peace to the Middle East, and the most important condition for achieving long-term stability in the Middle East is the independent Palestinian state!Although Russia's short-term involvement in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict makes it difficult to interfere strongly in the Middle East, the Kremlin has shown a willingness to make an effort for the situation. Israel cannot ignore the Palestinian demand for independence in any case, and the international community generally considers this to be the key to achieving peace and stability in the Middle East.
