The violent conflicts between the Israelis and Palestinians have been going on for nearly two months, which has resulted in big casualties and property losses. On top of the serious losses that the economy of the Palestinian Autonomous Region has suffered because of the blockade, Israel declared the other day that it would suspend the return of tax payment to the Palestinian side. The incessant violent conflicts between the Israelis and Palestinians have led to great losses of life and property on both sides and the Palestinian people in particular. The Palestinian economic development has been seriously hampered and its people are leading a hard and difficult life.
China is deeply concerned over the situation.
We strongly hope that Israel and Palestine stop the conflicts as soon as possible and resume the peace talk at an early date.
