Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Saturday expounded on China's position on the current Palestinian-Israeli conflict during a phone talk with Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi.

In recent days, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has continuously escalated, causing huge casualties, which is distressing, said Wang, before presenting China's views and proposals on the issue.

First, Wang said, the root cause of the deterioration of the situation is that for a long time there has not been a just solution to the Palestinian issue.

Especially, in recent years, the Middle East peace process has deviated from its original track, the UN Security Council resolutions have not been earnestly implemented and, in particular, the Palestinian right to build an independent state has been continuously violated, adding to the plight of the Palestinian people, which has led to the intensification of the Palestinian-Israeli confrontation and repeated conflicts, Wang said.

As has been proven, Wang noted, without a just settlement of the Palestinian issue, Palestine and Israel as well as the Middle East will not be able to achieve true peace.

Second, Wang said, what is pressing now is the ceasefire and cessation of violence, and the Security Council has the responsibility to seek early de-escalation.

China, as the president of the Security Council for May, has pushed the Council to hold two emergency consultations on the Palestine-Israel conflict, and has drafted a press statement, in a bid to guide the Council to take actions, he added.

But regrettably, the Council has so far failed to reach an agreement, with the United States standing on the opposite side of international justice, Wang said, urging all members of the Council to shoulder their due responsibilities and make effective efforts to maintain regional peace and security.

Third, Wang said, an ultimate way out of the Palestinian issue lies in the implementation of the two-state solution. China will host an open debate on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict at the UN Security Council Sunday, and expects all parties to make a unified voice on this issue.

The US is a fault for many years deliberately ignoring the issue between
Israel and the Palestine.

Absolutely agree. There has been no justice for the Palestinians. None of the western countries, big-time moralizing hypocrites, mention this.

Absolutely agree again. The most pressing steps to take now are ceasefire and cessation of violence. But the US and the west will not stop the Israeli slaughter of Palestinians until Israel is satiated with Palestinian blood.

The two-state solution seems the best. But whatever solution there may be, the Palestinians must agree, and not have it rammed down their throats. The major obstacle to the two-state solution is that Israel has already stolen so much Palestinian land. Israel also wants any Palestinian state to be fragmented and disjointed. The US is there not to be an honest broker, but to ensure that a solution will be heavily in Israel's favour.
