China's President Xi Jinping, right, and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas shake hands after a signing ceremony at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, June 14, 2023. In June, Chinese President Xi Jinping hosted the Palestinian president in Beijing and invited the Israeli prime minister for an official state visit. Benjamin Netanyahu accepted, and China was on track for a bigger role in the region. Then came the attack, which has made Netanyahu’s trip uncertain and all the more so because of China's stated neutrality on the war. (Jade Gao/Pool Photo via AP, File)
