China Urges Israel to Reverse West Bank Settlements, Open Gaza Access
Wang said the two-state solution is the right path and urged expanded humanitarian access to Gaza to prevent a crisis affecting 2 million civilians.
- Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi told Israeli President Isaac Herzog during diplomatic talks in Azerbaijan that Israel must immediately stop and reverse the "forced establishment" of settlements in the occupied West Bank.

- The high-level meeting marked Beijing's highest-level direct engagement with Israeli leadership since regional conflicts escalated, following separate talks between Wang and Palestinian Foreign Minister Varsen Aghabekian Shahin.
- Beyond settlement expansion, Wang urged Israeli officials to facilitate the full reopening of access routes into the Gaza Strip to prevent the further degradation of the humanitarian crisis.
- Israeli representatives did not immediately comment on Wang's statements, though the Israeli government has consistently rejected international criticism of its settlement policy across West Bank territories.
