He also called for the establishment of an international investigation committee to intervene in the Middle East peace process.
China is seriously concerned and disturbed.
We support all efforts that are conducive to the restoration of normalcy in the Middle East situation. It is our hope that the Palestinian and Israeli sides will continue to adopt a flexible and pragmatic position, resume the peace talks as soon as possible to find an early resolution of the Palestinian issue on the basis of the relevant UN resolutions, so that peace and stability in the Middle East will finally come about. China welcomes the efforts of the international community to calm the violent conflicts between the Palestinians and Israelis. China has all along supported the Middle East peace process. No long ago, President Jiang Zemin sent oral messages respectively to Palestinian and Israeli leaders, expressing the hope that the two sides would come back to the negotiation tables as soon as possible.
