  • China aims to propose a three-point solution: stop killing civilians, resume negotiations, and work towards a two-state solution based on pre-1967 borders.

China's Historical Relationship with Palestine and Israel

China has a long-standing relationship with Palestine, which dates back to Mao Zedong's time. In the 50s and 60s, China supported Palestine and provided military support. China's relationship with Israel, on the other hand, was complicated due to Israel's alignment with Western powers during the Korean War. However, China established diplomatic ties with Israel in 1992, leading to growing economic relations between the two countries over the past two decades.
