China’s plea for peace
Print Edition
CHINESE Foreign Minister Wang Yi yesterday called on Israel and Hamas to stop fighting and urged the Jewish state to lift its blockade of Gaza.
Wang made his comments at a press conference with his Egyptian counterpart Sameh Shoukri, whose government is hosting a Palestinian delegation for cease-fire talks snubbed by Israel.
“Both sides, the Israeli and the Palestinian, should immediately and comprehensively cease fire, including air strikes, ground operations and rocket fire to save the people and peace in the region,” said Wang, whose comments were translated into Arabic.
“All actions that involve excessive use of force and that lead to civilian casualties are unacceptable.”
Wang also said that Israel must “lift its blockade” of the Gaza Strip.
