China has called for a ceasefire in the conflict between Israel and Hamas and “the establishment of an independent Palestinian state”, the Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Sunday. China’s Foreign Ministry said: “The basic way to resolve the conflict is to implement the two-state solution and establish an independent Palestinian state.”
Its online statement described the situation as an “escalation of tensions and violence between Palestine and Israel”.
It does not mention Hamas, the Palestinian militant group that controls the Gaza Strip and is designated a terrorist organization by the United States and the European Union. At least 700 people have been killed in Israel since Hamas militants infiltrated the country on Saturday and kidnapped dozens of people, including civilians, according to NBC News. The latest death toll from Israel’s counter-offensive on Gaza was 370, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health. “We call on all parties involved to maintain calm and restraint, immediately cease hostilities, protect civilians and avoid further escalation of the situation,” China’s foreign ministry said.
The international community should act with greater urgency, increase investment in the Palestinian cause, promote an early resumption of peace talks between Palestine and Israel, and find a way to achieve lasting peace. ” “To achieve this goal, China will continue to work tirelessly with the international community.”
On Monday, China’s permanent representative to the United Nations, Zhang Yun, took a tougher line on the development of the conflict, saying that “China condemns any violence and attacks on civilians.”
