Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi voiced the real horror taking place in Gaza at the hands of "Israel", saying, "Generations of the Palestinian people have been displaced, unable to return to their home till this day" while at the Munich Security Conference in Germany.

"This is the longest-lasting injustice in our world," he added.

He continued to urge on behalf of China rapid "efforts in establishing an independent State of Palestine and the convening of a more broad-based and effective international peace conference to truly realize the peaceful coexistence between Palestine and Israel".

Yi further added that "ongoing tensions in the Red Sea once again show that the Palestinian issue is at the heart of the Middle East issue."

On Tuesday, China called on "Israel" to halt its aggression in the region of Rafah in the Gaza Strip "without delay", cautioning of an impending "severe humanitarian crisis" should the war persist. "China follows closely the developments in the Rafah area, opposes and condemns actions that harm civilians and violate international law," a Foreign Ministry spokesperson said in a statement.

Beijing urged "Israel" to immediately "stop its military operation as soon as possible, (and) make every effort to avoid innocent civilian casualties, in order to prevent a more serious humanitarian disaster in the Rafah area."

Back in January, Yi, in Egypt, called for a ceasefire in Gaza and reiterated the need for the establishment of a Palestinian state.
