Hanoch Dov Milwidsky, a member of Israel’s parliament, told Newsweek he doesn’t „see anything wrong with China wanting to help.“
The comments came following the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) raid in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin that began on Monday. Some 12 people have been killed and 120 injured, 20 seriously, in the raid, the Palestinian Health Ministry said Tuesday. The IDF said they have arrested 120 suspected terrorists.
On Tuesday, a revenge car-ramming and stabbing attack in Tel Aviv left eight people injured. The alleged perpetrator was shot dead at the scene.
Amid this backdrop of violence, Chinese Embassy to the United States spokesperson Liu Pengyu told Newsweek that „China stands ready to work with the international community to actively contribute to the realization of the peaceful coexistence of Palestine and Israel.“
„The fundamental solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and the Palestinian question lies in the resumption of peace talks and the implementation of the two-state solution,“ Liu said.
On Tuesday, Hanoch Dov Milwidsky, a member of the Knesset (Israel’s parliament) for Likud, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s political party and the leading group in Israel’s ruling coalition, supported China’s offer.
