"The current conflict in the Middle East is escalating, and the war is expanding, which not only impacts regional peace and stability, but also directly affects international energy, finance, trade and shipping, undermining the common interests of all countries. History and reality have repeatedly proven that force provides no solution, and armed conflict will only add new hatred. The parties involved should immediately stop military operations to prevent further deterioration of situation. China will continue to strengthen communication with all relevant parties to mediate a ceasefire, so that peace and stability will be restored in the Middle East at an early date."
