Reason for Signing the Resolution Regarding the Resumption of the Israeli-Palestinian Peace Process
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been one of the main issues in the Middle East for decades. It has sparked so many issues in the region and needs to be resolved as soon as possible. The attack at Incirlik Air Base just last week delayed any further progress in the process. The process needs to resume once again if any progress will be made. These delays are detrimental to the process as whole and play right into the hands of terrorist groups such as Hezbollah and Hamas whose ultimate goal is to eliminate Israel. China has signed onto this resolution because once the Israelis and Palestinians come to an agreement, the Middle East will be relieved of so many problems. It will decrease terrorism, it will verify countries’ specific borders, and most importantly, there will be an increase in the stability of the nation of Israel. Stability is the most important factor in improving the Middle East. So once a resolution is made regarding how to divide the land of Israel, a giant step will be taken in fully stabilizing the Middle East. For these reasons, China has signed onto the Israel’s resolution regarding the resumption of the Israeli-Palestinian Peace Process. We are willing to help in any way in order to continue the peace process for a more stable region.

Reason for Signing the Resolution Regarding Sanctions on Syria
China believes that despite Syria’s claims that they would like to fight terrorism, they are one of the main contributors to the problem. Prime Minister Assad says that they will stop funding Hezbollah if the West takes their nuclear weapons out of the Middle East, but they know that this is quite impossible due to the instability of the region. The Middle East first needs to show that they had made major steps in improving stability before the West can ever remove its nuclear weapons from the region. By signing on to this resolution and imposing the sanctions on Syria, China wants to thwart their ability to fund Hezbollah. Syria and other countries in the Middle East need to take proactive action in stopping terrorism in the region before the region can ever become a nuclear-free zone. If Syria does not cooperate, the sanctions will be increased. Once Syria realizes that they are truly willing to join rest of the World in the fight against terrorism and stop funding Hezbollah, then will the sanctions by lifted. Their unreasonable demands towards more powerful countries are not helping the situation. The sponsors and signatories of this resolution hope that Syria will soon show support for our fight against terrorism.

Noting the Agreement that Russia made with the United States, who will be supported by other major NATO members on the Security Council, to at least abstain NATO decisions in exchange for a positive statement about Russian membership into NATO,
Stressing how credible and serious a threat terrorism is, and how important it is that there is proactive action taken,
1. Encourages other nations to make sure that they take proactive action concerning the war on terror;
2. Urges other nations to augment sanctions on Syria unless the funding for Hezbollah stops;

China welcomes start of indirect Israeli-Palestinian talks
GOV.cn Tuesday, May 11, 2010
China on Tuesday welcomed the start of indirect Israeli-Palestinian talks, urging parties to seek good results.
"China welcomes the start of indirect Israeli-Palestinian talks, which is a positive step toward breaking the 18-month stalemate and reviving the peace process," Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu told a regular briefing Tuesday.
Jiang's comment came after Palestine and Israel on Sunday began four-month proximity talks mediated by the United States.
Since Israel waged military offensive known as "Operation Cast Lead" against Hamas in the Gaza Strip in December 2008, Israeli-Palestinian peace talks have been deadlocked.
Jiang called on both parties to seize opportunities, overcome difficulties and show political will to achieve positive results at an early date.

China's Veto Power
Questions have risen recently about Security Council sanctions on Iran. China cannot publicly state whether we support these sanctions right now, but when the time comes to make a decision, the Security Council needs to be aware that Iran is one of China's permanent oil and energy providers. For this reason, China will fully prepared to veto the sanctions if we so choose to do so.
