China has also called for “complete and effective execution of the ceasefire agreement” and a two-state solution for Israelis and Palestinians, Al Jazeera reports.

Beijing “opposes the forced displacement of the Palestinian people and hopes for the complete and effective execution of the ceasefire agreement”, Foreign Minister Wang Yi told Egypt’s Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty during a phone call.

“Gaza is an integral part of Palestinian territory, and its future should be determined by the will of the Palestinian people,” said Wang.
