Responding to Trump’s plan, China says Gaza is not political bargaining chip

China’s foreign ministry says Beijing opposes the forced transfer of people in Gaza, after US President Donald Trump proposed taking over the territory.

“Gaza is the Gaza of Palestinians, not a political bargaining chip, let alone the target of a law of the jungle,” ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun tells a regular press briefing.

China firmly supports the “legitimate national rights” of the Palestinian people, he adds.
