Zhao Lijian added, China has noted relevant reports, including those saying that Israel will stop annexing part of Palestinian territories and is committed to reaching a comprehensive, fair and enduring solution to the Palestinian issue.

" China welcomes measures that will help alleviate tension between countries in the Middle East and promote regional peace and stability.

We hope that relevant parties will take concrete actions to get the Palestinian issue back on the track of equal-footed dialogues.

China's position on the Palestinian issue is consistent and clear.

We will continue to firmly support and play an active and constructive role in the Palestinian people's just cause to regain their lawful national rights and build an independent state," he added.
