When asked to comment on Israel's security cabinet approved new rules aimed at strengthening control on the occupied West Bank, and the Palestinian Foreign Ministry condemned the move as a colonial act and war crime, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian stated on Thursday that both Gaza and the West Bank are inseparable parts of the Palestinian territory, and the two-state solution is the fundamental way to resolve the Palestinian question. 

China has consistently opposed the construction of new settlements in the occupied Palestinian territory and all attempts to annex or encroach upon Palestinian territory and to undermine the political foundation of the two-state solution. The current situation in Gaza remains highly fragile, and relevant parties should refrain from taking any actions that would intensify contradictions and further escalate tensions.
