On October 30, 2023, Special Envoy of the Chinese Government on the Middle East Issue Zhai Jun visited Jordan, and met with Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates of Jordan Ayman Safadi. The two sides had an exchange of views on China-Jordan relations and the current situation between Palestine and Israel.

Zhai Jun said that China is deeply concerned about the current deteriorating situation in Gaza and the severe humanitarian crisis. The international community, the UN Security Council in particular, should take action and concrete measures to promote an early ceasefire and cessation of hostilities. At the same time, it is necessary to take a long-term view and create conditions for the resumption of the peace process in the Middle East on the basis of the two-state solution and "land for peace". The relevant draft resolution presented by Jordan on behalf of Arab countries at the emergency special session of the UN General Assembly was adopted with a high number of votes, reflecting the strong call from the international community, especially Arab and Islamic countries, for a ceasefire and cessation of hostilities. As a co-sponsor of the draft resolution, China highly appreciates and supports Jordan's important and unique role at this critical juncture.

Ayman Safadi said, the Palestine-Israel conflict has brought tremendous damage to Gaza and posed serious impacts on regional security and stability. Israel's collective punishment of civilians in Gaza only brings more turbulence and risks to the region, not peace. The root cause of the Palestine-Israel conflict is the denial of the legitimate national rights of the Palestinian people. Only by correctly and comprehensively understanding the historical context of the Palestinian question can a way out for the political settlement of the question be found. Jordan appreciates China's just position at the United Nations (UN), the Security Council and other occasions, thanks China for participating in the co-sponsoring and voting for the draft resolution on the Palestine-Israel conflict presented by Jordan at the UN General Assembly, and stands ready to maintain communication and coordination with China to work for an early de-escalation of the Palestine-Israel situation.
