Wang Yi: China Welcomes Gaza Ceasefire & Calls for Lasting Peace

🕊️ At a joint press conference in Switzerland, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi welcomed the first-phase ceasefire and prisoner swap deal between Israel and Hamas. Speaking alongside Swiss Federal Councillor and Foreign Minister Ignazio Cassis, he stressed that every measure to halt violence and save lives deserves support.

Wang Yi urged a genuine, comprehensive and lasting ceasefire to bring relief to civilians caught in the crossfire. He called on the international community to step up efforts to alleviate the humanitarian crisis and restore regional stability, saying, "Now is the time to save lives and bring real hope to the people of Gaza."

Highlighting the principle of "the Palestinians governing Palestine," Wang Yi emphasized that any future arrangement in Gaza must fully respect the will of the Palestinian people. This approach, he noted, is key to building trust and preventing further conflict.

On the road to lasting peace, Wang Yi reiterated China's firm support for the two-state solution. "Only by establishing an independent State of Palestine and realizing the Palestinian people's legitimate national rights can historical injustice and the root causes of violence be eliminated," he said, underscoring the need for a fair and balanced outcome. ✨

Looking ahead, China stands ready to join hands with the international community, including Switzerland, to work tirelessly toward enduring peace and stability in the Middle East. 🌍
