The foreign ministers of Australia, Canada, and the UK have released a joint statement urging an end to the hostilities between Israel and Palestine and the establishment of a Palestinian state. They also called on the Israeli government to reverse its approval of new settlement units in the West Bank. The leaders expressed concern over the ongoing violence and loss of life in the region and emphasized their support for the Israeli and Palestinian people’s right to live in peace and security. The content also highlights recent drone strikes by Israel on Jenin and Palestinian leaders’ visit to Beijing for bilateral talks, where they expressed appreciation for China’s commitment to financing development projects. Experts, however, dismiss Beijing’s ability to broker peace in the region.
