China is working hard for the resumption of negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority to resolve their dispute, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Zhang Qiyue said in Beijing Tuesday.
Although Ambassador Wang Shijie, China's special envoy on the Middle East issue, was now in Beijing, he kept frequent contact with all sides and continued to seek an early resolution, she said.
China felt concerned and worried about the increasing tension between the two sides and believed that "violence for violence" would not contribute to resolving the issue.
China called for all sides to take concrete measures to stop violence and resume negotiations, for the sake of regional stability and the security of life and property, she said.
Zhang said negotiation was the only right way to solve the conflict between the Israelis and Palestinians and to realize peace in Middle East.
