The Security Council resolution explicitly condemns all moves to change the demographic composition, nature and location of the territories occupied since 1967, including East Jerusalem. The parties concerned should faithfully maintain the historical status of the holy site of Jerusalem and faithfully respect Jordan’s jurisdiction over the religious holy site, in accordance with the requirements of the Security Council and UN General Assembly resolutions. China notes that Israeli leaders have recently expressed their commitment to maintaining the holy site as before, and hopes that the relevant commitments will be implemented into constructive policies and actions.
peace talks should escalate

The facts have proved once again that piecemeal crisis management and control cannot play an effective role. cannot substitute for a comprehensive and fair solution.
The international community should increase its sense of urgency to push for the resumption of peace talks between Palestine and Israel on the basis of a two-state solution, in order to resolve the issue of Jerusalem and its final location. Countries with significant influence in this regard must take responsibility and play a constructive role.
