China is organizing for a peace conference on Palestine. “The recent emergency special session of the UN General Assembly [on Oct. 26] overwhelmingly passed a resolution calling for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire, and that reflected the resolute voice of the international community,” Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi told Oman’s Foreign Minister Sayyid Badr Albusaidi, during their phone conversation yesterday, as quoted on the Chinese Foreign Ministry’s website. “China supports the convening of a more authoritative, broader and more effective international peace conference as soon as possible to push the Palestinian question back to the track of the two-state solution,” he said.
Noting that the “current situation in Gaza is deteriorating day by day, and the number of civilian casualties is rising,” Wang Yi said, “no responsible country with a conscience can allow such a tragedy to continue.”
