US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has called Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi to ask for China's help in preventing the spread of the Israel-Hamas war.
State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said Blinken called Wang on Saturday from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, to urge China to use whatever influence it has in the Middle East to keep other countries and groups from do not enter into conflict.
Miller declined to say which countries and groups the US believes Beijing has influence with, but China is known to have close trade and political ties with Iran, which in turn supports Hamas and Lebanon's Hezbollah group.
Miller also declined to comment on Wang's response, but said the US believes it and China have a common interest in Middle East stability.
Meanwhile, on the other hand, official Beijing said that China calls for the convening of an international peace conference as soon as possible, since the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is escalating and risks getting out of control.
It also said that China opposes all acts that harm civilians and condemns practices that violate international law.
