China plans to host Israel-Palestinian talk

[Song Hong]

The Chinese government plans to invite Israelis and Palestinians to hold talks in China, Al-Arabiya TV channel quoted Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Wednesday as saying in an interview.

Wang, who started a Middle East tour this week, also voiced support for a Saudi initiative announced on Monday to end the war in Yemen, according to the Saudi-owned, Dubai-based channel.

China has offered itself several times in the past as an alternative to the United States when it comes to mediating between Israelis and Palestinians, coming up with proposals to end their decades-old conflict.

“We will invite Palestinian and Israeli public figures to have talks in China,” Al-Arabiya quoted Wang as saying.

He did not elaborate, and it was not immediately clear whether he had government representatives in mind.

China has not reached out to the Prime Minister’s Office or the Foreign Ministry about hosting peace talks.

The previous Chinese initiative for talks between Israel and the Palestinians involved inviting then-opposition MK Hilik Bar to Beijing in 2017, where he met with Nabil Sha’ath, an adviser to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.

Then Israel will just avoid coming to the table. Israel doesn’t want a fair deal, it just wants total decimation of the Palestinians.

Israel is a very wary country, otherwise it won't survive for so long.

Israel foreign policy basis: Keep good relationship with both US, China and Russia.

Otherwise, Russia and China can really screw thing up. US can protect Israel to some extent, but it's not free ride. Israel sold sensitive weapons system to China many years ago even though US protest.

While China has more and more influence in ME, when every country want investment and trade with China, as well as weapons, technology cooperation, social development.

ME is really screwed up by US interference, China foreign policy is much more friendly.

A good initiative. It will make Palestinians more comfortable with a neutral broker which is China then biased one which has been untied states. It is also in Israel interest to be seen with another super power. Putting all eggs in American basket will not work anymore.
