He also called for an end to violence against civilians, urging Israel to lift the blockade of the Gaza Strip to guarantee the flow of people and supplies.

“Upholding the historical status quo of religious holy sites, ceasing expansion of settlements, and respecting international humanitarian law are the fundamental requirements for preventing the repeated escalations of tensions between Palestine and Israel,” he said.

“The parties concerned are duty-bound to implement them and should not use them as bargaining chips. The international community has the responsibility to ensure their implementation and should not be indifferent.”

“China will continue to firmly support the Palestinian people and their just cause to restore their legitimate national rights,” he added.
