Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi met with Israeli President Isaac Herzog in Azerbaijan, where he called on Israel to stop and reverse what he described as the “forced establishment” of settlements in Judea and Samaria. Wang characterised the Palestinian issue as “the greatest historical injustice of the century” according to reporting from Walla.

The Chinese minister stated that China’s immediate priority is to fully open access to the Gaza Strip. This represents a significant diplomatic intervention by China on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, with the Foreign Minister placing the issue at the centre of his discussion with the Israeli president.

The meeting underscores China’s sustained engagement on Middle Eastern affairs and its position on Israeli settlements, which it views as obstacles to peace. The comments reflect China’s broader diplomatic stance on the Palestinian cause and access to Gaza.
