BEIJING: According to the foreign ministry, China’s envoy for the Middle East pleaded in Egypt on Sunday( Oct 22 ),” Foreigny is not a way to resolve” the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and is once again calling for ceasefire.”
After two weeks of hostilities between Israel and the Palestinian Islamist movements Hamas, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres demanded timely” action to end this line nightmare” at a” mountain for peace” held in Egypt on Saturday.
Zhai Jun, Beijing’s minister to the Middle East, met Ahmed Aboul Gheit, the head of the Arab League, on the eve of conference.
According to a declaration from his ministry, the Chinese diplomat demanded an” immediate peace and an end to the fighting as soon as possible.”
According to Zhai, who made no mention of Israel or Hamas in the speech,” China believes that using pressure to solve the problem is ineffective and that responding to assault with assault will only result in a vicious cycle of retaliation.”
According to Jewish leaders, Hamas militants stormed into Israel from the Gaza Strip on October 7 and killed at least 1,400 people, mostly citizens who were shot, mutilated, or burned to death on the first day of the attack.
According to the Hamas-run health department in Gaza, Israel’s hostile bombing campaign has claimed the lives of more than 4,600 Palestinians, mostly civilians.
China has up until now maintained cordial ties with Israel, but it has long backed a two-state option and the Arab reason.
China expressed its” deep disappointment” on Thursday over the United States’ decision to reject a UN Security Council resolution calling for an” charitable delay” in the Israel-Hamas issue.
Because Israel’s right to self-defense was never mentioned in the text, Washington was justified in vetoing it.
As he met with Iranian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouli on Thursday in Beijing, Chinese President Xi Jinping stated that it was” crucial to prevent the discord from expanding or also losing power and causing a severe humanitarian issue.”
