China has expressed deep concern over the ongoing conflict between Palestine and Israel. According to foreign media reports, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated on Sunday that the current situation of conflict and violence between Palestine and Israel deeply worries China.
The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs also stated that they are calling on relevant parties to exercise restraint and show tolerance. They emphasized that a return to conflict once again highlights that a lasting ceasefire is not yet in place.
China called for the international community to work swiftly to find a path towards establishing lasting peace.
It's worth noting that the recent conflict, known as "Operation Al-Quds Sword," initiated by the Palestinian militant group Hamas against Israel, has resulted in more than 250 Israeli casualties and over 256 Palestinian casualties due to retaliatory actions by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF).
