GAZA (Palestine Foundation Information Center) The Hamas Movement welcomed China’s pro-Palestine stance during the public hearings held by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on Thursday.
China has told the ICJ that the Palestinians “must not be denied” justice at a hearing on the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories.
“Justice has been long delayed, but it must not be denied,” China’s Foreign Ministry’s legal adviser, Ma Xinmin, told the court in The Hague in the Netherlands.
The Movement praised China’s stance on the legitimacy of the occupied people’s right to self-determination through all possible means, including armed resistance, and the need to distinguish between terrorism and the Palestinian people’s armed struggle against Israeli occupation.
The Movement further stated that Israel’s decision to boycott the court proceedings is further evidence of its disdain for international organizations and its continued policy of violating international agreements and resolutions.
Hamas also called on the international community to take a firm position to end the Israeli occupation, and to stop all its violations and crimes against the Palestinian people.
