China urges Israel to halt West Bank settlement expansion
–
Neutral summary
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi met Israeli President Isaac Herzog on the sidelines of a conference in Azerbaijan and urged Israel to halt and reverse its “forced establishment” of West Bank settlements, according to a statement released by China’s foreign ministry. Wang told Herzog that China has consistently held that the Palestinian question is the greatest historical injustice of this century, and that promoting peace and reconciliation in the region is the “cornerstone” of China’s Middle East policy. He said the immediate priority is to fully open access routes into Gaza, adding: “Two million civilians must not be left to struggle on the brink of survival, nor can this humanitarian catastrophe be allowed to spread.” Wang also stated that China believes the two-state solution is the right path to a resolution and expressed willingness to work with the international community to push all parties to return to dialogue and consultation. Earlier reports said Herzog and Wang discussed topics ranging from economic and cultural cooperation to regional security. The meeting came amid reports linking China to Iran’s military buildup.
