| Abstract | ||||
| The research examines China's engagement model in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict with the surge of the Gaza War 2023-2024, posing a key question: how will China choose to engage with this complex geopolitical issue? The decisions made by China could have far-reaching implications for the future of the Middle East. Beijing has sought to balance its political and economic interests in the Middle East region, while also navigating the delicate geopolitical dynamics. On one hand, China has maintained long-standing ties with the Palestinians and has provided diplomatic and economic support. However, it has also sought to preserve its relationship with Israel, a crucial Middle East partner. The research first traces China’s interests in the Middle East and its approach to the Palestinian-Israeli Conflict to then highlight why China has kept a reactive diplomacy at the core of its moves as the Gaza war raged on, opting for supporting the Palestinian cause, while balancing its relationship with Israel, given the US involvement in the Gaza War. This balancing act has led China to adopt a cautious approach, calling for a peaceful resolution to the conflict while employing reactive diplomacy and avoiding direct intervention. China's position and impact in the region will likely continue to evolve to further drive its interests in the Middle East region, yet, its role in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict following the Gaza war will likely remain a subject of debate, as it requires Beijing to focus more on a proactive approach to the conflict instead of a reactive one. | ||||
