Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Tuesday that China calls on all parties to accelerate the two-state solution and support the establishment of an independent Palestinian state on the 1967 borders.

The conflict in Gaza is due to the delay in resolving the Palestinian issue, Wang, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, told the media after chairing a high-level meeting of the UN Security Council on "practicing multilateralism and reforming and improving global governance."

He added that the Palestinian issue has always been at the heart of the Middle East issue, noting that until the two-state solution is achieved, the logic of responding to injustice with injustice will not stop, and the cycle of violence will not end.

He stressed that all parties in the Middle East should overcome their differences and support the establishment of a Palestinian state, noting that the United Nations must take the necessary measures for the State of Palestine to obtain full membership in it.

He stressed that Gaza is the homeland of the Palestinians and part of the Palestinian territories, and should not be a victim of international politics.

He stressed that the parties concerned must continue to implement the ceasefire agreement and make constructive progress in subsequent negotiations.

He added that the principle of "Palestinians govern Palestine" must be adhered to, which is the basic principle for governing Gaza after the conflict, in line with the two-state solution with the ultimate goal of achieving peaceful coexistence between Palestine and Israel and promoting long-term peace and stability in the Middle East.
