  "account": "BEIJING: Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi met with Israeli President Isaac Herzog and urged Israel to halt and reverse its \"forced establishment\" of settlements in the West Bank, according to a statement from China's foreign ministry. The Chinese official emphasized that promoting peace and reconciliation in the region is the cornerstone of China's Middle East policy. The Chinese government firmly believes that the Palestinian question represents the greatest historical injustice of the 20th century and advocates for the two-state solution as the optimal path to resolving the conflict. Wang stressed that the immediate priority is to fully reopen access to the Gaza Strip to prevent a humanitarian catastrophe. In addition, he called on Israel to collaborate with the international community to re-establish dialogue and consultation among all parties and to seek a political resolution to the conflict as soon as possible.",
