According to AI News, on October 10, 2023, Zhai Jun, the Chinese government’s special envoy for the Middle East issue, had a phone call with Osama, Assistant Minister of Palestinian Affairs of the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, regarding the situation between Palestine and Israel.
Zhai Jun said that China is deeply concerned regarding the current intensification of tensions and violence between Palestine and Israel, and is saddened by the large number of civilian casualties caused by the conflict. We oppose and condemn actions that harm civilians and call for an immediate ceasefire. The Palestinian-Israeli conflict continues in cycles, and the crux is still the delay in resolving the Palestinian issue justly. The fundamental solution lies in the implementation of the “two-state solution.” The international community should make practical efforts to promote the “two-state solution” with the greatest sense of urgency. China is willing to maintain communication and coordination with Egypt, promote both parties to the conflict to cease fire and stop violence as soon as possible, and promote the international community to form a joint force to provide humanitarian support to the Palestinian people and prevent the humanitarian crisis in Palestine, especially in Gaza, from worsening.
Usama highly appreciated China’s long-standing and just stance on the Palestinian issue, and stressed that a comprehensive and fair solution to the Palestinian issue should be promoted on the basis of the “two-state solution” in accordance with relevant United Nations resolutions. The international community should shoulder its responsibilities and create conditions for restarting the Palestinian-Israeli peace process. Egypt looks forward to working with China to make efforts to cool down the situation. (Ministry of Foreign Affairs website)
