"China hosts Muslim-majority nations for Israel-Hamas peace talks"

Muslim majority nations, including Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt, and Indonesia, arrived in Beijing for talks on de-escalating the Israel-Hamas conflict, as China aims to play a mediator role. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi met with officials to discuss protecting civilians, resolving the Palestinian issue, and establishing a ceasefire. China has been critical of Israel's retaliation and has refrained from condemning Hamas, causing backlash from Israeli officials. China has been actively involved in finding a solution to the conflict, dispatching a peace envoy and pushing for a two-state solution. The conflict has also allowed China to strengthen ties with Arab countries and position itself as a key voice for peace.
