China supports all efforts to end the war in Ukraine and rejects the idea of using Gaza as a political tool, Foreign Minister Wang Yi told the United Nations Security Council on Tuesday. His remarks follow U.S.-Russia talks in Saudi Arabia on Ukraine’s future.

On the Israel-Gaza war, Wang reaffirmed China’s commitment to the two-state solution, denouncing U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent proposal for the U.S. to take over Gaza and relocate its population.
“Gaza and the West Bank are the homeland of the Palestinian people, not a bargaining chip in political trade-offs,” Wang said, urging global attention beyond Ukraine.
Speaking to reporters, Wang warned against sidelining conflicts like Gaza in international diplomacy.
“We must realize that in our world today, there’s not just the Ukraine issue,” he said. “There are many other hotspots that require the international community’s attention.”
