Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi said Wednesday China was “deeply concerned” that the conflict between Israel and Iran “may get out of control”.

“Israel’s acts of disregarding international law and international rules has caused the situation in the Middle East to suddenly become tense, and China is also deeply concerned that the situation may get out of control,” Wang told his Egyptian counterpart in a phone call, China’s foreign ministry said.

In a separate phone call with Oman’s foreign minister Wednesday, Wang said the two countries “cannot sit idly by and let the region slide into an unknown abyss”, the foreign ministry said.
