Israel-Palestine: A China-brokered peace?

With US' bias preventing a lasting ceasefire and a stop to Israel's genocide in Gaza, can China step in to lead the world in the pursuit for peace? — AP

WITH the horrendous conflict currently happening in Gaza, which has caused over 20,000 deaths, mainly of innocent children and women, it is a good time to ask, can intractable conflicts be brought to an end?

In the long Israel-Palestine conflict, peace has seemed impossible. From 1947, when the newly created United Nations resolved to establish two states, Israel and Palestine to co-exist in the former British mandate, and the declaration of the Israeli state the following year, there has been no respite from war.
