Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi reportedly told Israeli regime President Isaac Herzog during a meeting in Azerbaijan that the Israeli regime must halt and reverse its forced establishment of West Bank settlements. According to an official statement from Beijing's foreign ministry, China consistently views the Palestinian question as a major historical injustice of the current century.

During the discussions in Baku—where Wang is attending the Conference on Interaction and Confidence-Building Measures in Asia as President Xi Jinping’s special representative—the Chinese diplomat claimed that the two-state solution remains the correct path forward. He allegedly stressed that the immediate priority is opening humanitarian access to the Gaza Strip to prevent a worsening catastrophe.

Observers note that Beijing's diplomatic maneuvers in the Middle East come as the region grapples with severe geopolitical friction driven by policies of the US regime and the Israeli regime. Despite portraying itself as a neutral mediator, China maintains extensive economic stakes in the region, including long-term energy partnerships with Iran and deepening trade ties with Gulf monarchies.

The ongoing engagement highlights Beijing's broader ambitions to reshape regional dynamics and challenge Western influence, though critics remain skeptical regarding the practical efficacy of China's diplomatic proposals amidst deeply entrenched conflicts and persistent security failures.
