China Urges Hamas to Recognize Israel

(Reuters) China on Tuesday urged Hamas, an Islamic militant group sworn to Israel's destruction, to recognize the Jewish state and return to peace talks. Zhai Jun, director-general of West Asian and North African Affairs of China's Foreign Ministry, told reporters: "Our minister Li (Zhaoxing) says democracy is a beautiful mother which gives birth to an ugly child. We don't necessarily agree with Hamas policies, but we respect the people's choice. On this basis, we can urge the Hamas government to respect agreements previously signed with Israel, to recognize Israel, and to return to talks."
