The settlement of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict must be carried out in accordance with the plan “two states for two peoples”. Violent measures create a vicious circle and do not allow the restoration of peace in the Middle East. This was stated by Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi at a meeting with his Israeli counterpart Gideon Saar in Munich.
“The main method for solving the problem in the Middle East is the implementation of the “two-state plan“, which will ultimately ensure peaceful coexistence between Palestine and Israel and lead to friendly interaction between the Arab and Jewish people“, Wang Yi was quoted as saying by the website of the Chinese Foreign Ministry.“As the Chinese diplomat specified, the Palestinian issue is the main problem in the Middle East region. “Responding to violence with violence will only lead to a new vicious circle“, he added.“
Wan Yi stressed the need to end the humanitarian catastrophe in the Gaza Strip as soon as possible. "We hope that the ceasefire agreements will be effectively implemented and this will become the basis for a comprehensive and sustainable end to the conflict," he added. "China is ready to continue to take a fair stance and play a constructive role in the comprehensive and final settlement of the Palestinian issue."
The Chinese foreign minister noted that over the more than 30 years since the establishment of China-Israel diplomatic relations, cooperation between the two countries has made significant progress, and the pragmatic interaction between them has been "steadily advancing." He affirmed that China is ready to strengthen the innovative and comprehensive partnership with Israel.
