Panel: Global diplomacy surrounding the Palestinian-Israeli conflict

CGTN

Hamas and Israel have executed a brief truce of 7 days. The much-needed window saw Hamas in Gaza released more than 100 hostages in return for more than 200 Palestinians freed from prisons in Israel. However, the war has left hundreds of thousands of civilians either dead or displaced, and these horrors are continuing.

Global powers have been trying to wield their influence over the conflict. China held a high-level meeting at the UN on the crisis this week. Western powers like the U.S. and the EU have sent their diplomats to Israel.

So what is China's official position on the issue? Has the U.S., arguably the nation with the most amount of influence over the issue, done enough? Host Liu Kun is joined by Dr. Lee Pei May, Assistant Professor of Political Science at the International Islamic University Malaysia; Dr. Guy Burton, Adjunct Professor at the Department of International Affairs, Vesalius College in Brussels; Dr. Wang Jin, Associate Professor at Northwest University in China.
