On September 10, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Lin Jian presided over a regular press conference. A reporter asked: On September 9, Israel attacked Doha, the capital of Qatar, and its target was the leader of Hamas. How does China respond to this?
Lin Jian said that China severely condemns the attack that occurred yesterday in Doha, the capital of Qatar, and firmly opposes Israel's violation of Qatar's territorial sovereignty and national security. We are deeply concerned that the attack may lead to further escalation of tensions in the regional situation. We are dissatisfied with the actions of relevant parties to undermine the ceasefire negotiations in Gaza. If force cannot exchange for peace in the Middle East, dialogue and negotiation are the fundamental way out. The current Gaza conflict has been delayed for nearly two years. China strongly calls on relevant parties, especially Israel, to make more active efforts to calm the war and restart negotiations, rather than the other way around.
