On April 17th, State Councilor and Foreign Minister Qin Gang had a phone conversation with Israeli Foreign Minister Cohen. Qin Gang stated that China is concerned about the current tense situation between Israel and Palestine, and the top priority is to control the situation and prevent the conflict from escalating or even getting out of control. All parties should maintain calm and restraint, and stop extremist and provocative words and actions. The fundamental solution is to resume peace talks and implement the "Two Country Plan". It's never too late to do the right thing. China encourages both Israel and Palestine to show political courage and take steps to resume peace talks, and China is willing to provide convenience for this. China has no personal interests on this issue and only hopes that Israel and Palestine can coexist peacefully and maintain regional peace and stability. Cohen expressed gratitude to China for its willingness to provide support for resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Israel is committed to promoting a cooling down of the situation, but this issue seems difficult to resolve in the short term. Israel values China's influence, attaches great importance to the Iranian nuclear issue, and looks forward to China playing a positive role. Qin Gang emphasized that Saudi Arabia and Iran recently restored diplomatic relations through dialogue, setting a model for resolving differences through dialogue. I hope all parties can seize the opportunity to promote dialogue and reconciliation, implement the comprehensive agreement on the Iranian nuclear issue, and maintain peace and tranquility in the Middle East. Both sides expressed their importance to the relationship between the two countries. Qin Gang expressed his willingness to strengthen exchanges at all levels with Israel, enhance political mutual trust, and promote mutually beneficial cooperation. Cohen expressed his hope for a comprehensive resumption of cooperation in humanities, tourism and other fields between the two countries after the epidemic, and is willing to work closely with China to promote continuous new development of bilateral relations.
