Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Lin Jian expressed China’s opposition to any measure that escalates conflicts and aggravates the region’s situation.

Lin also urged all parties concerned to return to the path of political settlement as soon as possible and resolve differences through dialogue and communication to ease tensions.

In the words of the Foreign Ministry, the fact that no ceasefire has been achieved and the ongoing fighting in Gaza are the leading causes of the current turmoil in the Middle East.

Therefore, China restates its call to all parties to end fighting and achieve a comprehensive and lasting peace in Gaza as soon as possible.
