Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi held a meeting with Israel’s president on Thursday to discuss the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. During the discussions, Wang urged the Israeli government to stop and reverse the expansion of settlements in the West Bank, citing the need for regional stability.

Beyond the West Bank, Wang focused heavily on the humanitarian situation in Gaza. He stated that the most pressing priority is to ensure full access for aid into the territory. According to a statement from China’s foreign ministry, Wang warned that two million civilians are currently facing a survival crisis and emphasized that the humanitarian catastrophe must not be allowed to escalate further.

While the report highlights China's diplomatic stance, it does not detail the Israeli government's specific response to these requests. The meeting reflects China's ongoing efforts to position itself as a mediator in the region, though the report remains focused primarily on the statements provided by the Chinese delegation.
