The spokesperson said during a regular briefing in Beijing, “China calls for efforts to protect civilian population, end hostilities, and also open corridors for humanitarian help to avert an even worse humanitarian crisis, and resume negotiations so as to bring the Palestinian question back to the right track of the two-state solution and realize lasting stability and peace in the Middle East,”.

Wang Wenbin said that since the Palestinian-Israel war broke out, Beijing had been in close communication with relevant parties to call for truce, end of violence and restoration of peace.

When meeting with Egypt’s Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly in China, President Xi Jinping stressed that the main priority was to prevent the fighting immediately and stop the conflict from spreading or even getting out of control and also causing a severe humanitarian crisis, he maintained.

He added that the fundamental way out of the recurring Palestinian-Israeli war was to implement the two-state solution, establish an independent state of Palestine and achieve peaceful coexistence between Israel and Palestine.

Foreign Minister Wang Yi has had extensive communication with Minister of Foreign Affairs from 14 nations and the UN chief.

He said that the world needed to take urgent action over the current crisis in Gaza. “The UNSC needs to step up to its duties. Nations outside the region need to take an objective and just stance and play a positive role in cooling down the crisis,” he further said.
