China urges ‘calm’ after Hamas attack on Israel



“The recurrence of the conflict shows once again that the protracted standstill of the peace process cannot go on. The fundamental way out of the conflict lies in implementing the two-state solution and establishing an independent State of Palestine. The international community needs to act with greater urgency,” the spokesperson said.

An Israeli diplomat in Beijing said he was disappointed in China’s statement.

“When people are being murdered, slaughtered in the streets, this is not the time to call for a two-state solution,” Yuval Waks told reporters, according to Reuters.

Hundreds of people had been reported dead, most of them civilians, and fighting continued Sunday.
