China will provide $100 million in aid to the Palestinians to help alleviate the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and support reconstruction efforts, President Xi Jinping said on Thursday.
Xi was speaking at a joint press conference with French President Emmanuel Macron after their meeting in Beijing.
Xi told Macron that China remained committed to promoting peace in Gaza. He used Macron's visit to announce China would provide a further $100 million in aid to the Palestinians for reconstruction, although far below the 1.6 billion euros ($1.87 billion) the EU pledged in April for the next three years.
