Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi has cautioned Israeli President Isaac Herzog to halt and reverse the unauthorized creation of settlements in the West Bank, while also pressing for unrestricted humanitarian access to Gaza. Speaking during a meeting in Azerbaijan on October 16, 2026, Wang emphasized that the Palestinian question constituted the most significant historical injustice of the 20th century.
He reiterated China's backing for a two-state solution as the optimal route to resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Wang underscored that the immediate focus should be on ensuring access to Gaza to avert a worsening humanitarian crisis, and expressed readiness to collaborate with the global community in encouraging all parties to engage in dialogue and consultations expeditiously to achieve a political resolution.
