"Recently I have paid a visit to Qatar and Egypt and participated in the international summit in Cairo. Next, I will also visit the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and other countries of the region to further strengthen coordination with relevant parties to promote ceasefire, end violence and mitigate the situation," Chinese broadcaster quoted Zhai as saying. Over the weekend, Zhai attended the Cairo Summit for Peace that took place in the Egyptian capital with the participation of over 30 states, including China, and several international organizations. The Chinese official urged the United Nations at the summit to convene "more influential international conference for peace at a larger scale as soon as possible" and expressed certainty that the two-state solution, meaning the creation of an independent Palestinian state, could be a way out of the conflict. China is concerned about the possibility of further escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and urges the sides to cease fire, Chinese Special Envoy on the Middle East Zhai Jun stressed."China is deeply concerned about the prospect of further escalation of the conflict," Zhai said at a press conference following the Cairo Summit for Peace.He also said that the current situation in Palestine remains critical, with the conflict resulting in tens of thousands of deaths and injuries."China opposes and strongly condemns all acts that harm civilians, opposes any acts that violate international law, and calls on all parties to maintain calm and restraint to prevent the situation from further deteriorating or even getting out of control, and to prevent more serious humanitarian catastrophe," the diplomat said.The use of violence to fight violence is a vicious circle that only creates more obstacles on a path to political settlement of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, Zhai said."Only through an early cessation of fire and hostilities and by facilitating the relaxation of the situation can the necessary conditions for a political settlement be created," he said.

China is concerned about the possibility of further escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and urges the sides to cease fire, Chinese Special Envoy on the Middle East Zhai Jun stressed.
"China is deeply concerned about the prospect of further escalation of the conflict," Zhai said at a press conference following the Cairo Summit for Peace.
He also said that the current situation in Palestine remains critical, with the conflict resulting in tens of thousands of deaths and injuries.
"China opposes and strongly condemns all acts that harm civilians, opposes any acts that violate international law, and calls on all parties to maintain calm and restraint to prevent the situation from further deteriorating or even getting out of control, and to prevent more serious humanitarian catastrophe," the diplomat said.
The use of violence to fight violence is a vicious circle that only creates more obstacles on a path to political settlement of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, Zhai said.
