During a series of public hearings held by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on the legal consequences of Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories, China has made a significant statement asserting that Palestinians have the right to use armed force against Israel in pursuit of self-determination, challenging the notion that such actions constitute terrorism. This stance was articulated by Ma Xinmin, the legal adviser of China's Foreign Ministry, emphasizing that resistance under international law is legitimate. The hearings have seen a wide array of international reactions, with over 30 countries providing arguments. Notably, Jordan and Ireland, among 49 countries and three organizations, have also voiced their concerns, labeling Israel's occupation as illegal and urging the ICJ to render an advisory opinion to this effect. Additionally, the government of Cuba has highlighted the need for legal consequences for Israel, and accusations of complicity in genocide against the Palestinian people have been directed at the U.S. during these hearings. HAMAS has expressed appreciation for China's position, and Pakistan has called on the ICJ to declare the Israeli occupation unlawful. Qatar described Israel's actions in Gaza as a genocidal war, posing a significant threat to international peace. The proceedings have attracted a record number of state submissions and oral presentations from 52 States, indicating a high level of global interest in the matter.
