During a joint press conference with his Egyptian counterpart Sameh Shukry in Cairo on Sunday, Wang stressed that Israel “should lift its blockade on Gaza, [and] release Palestinian prisoners.”
“All actions that involve excessive use of force and that lead to civilian casualties are unacceptable,” he said.
“All movements including airstrikes, ground offensive and launches of rockets should be stopped. Any abuse of force that causes deaths of civilians is unacceptable,” Wang said.
He also offered a five-point ceasefire proposal for Gaza, saying Beijing is ready to mediate for peace between the Palestinians and Israel.
He also supported the truce initiative proposed by Egypt and other countries.
