China has expressed concern over Israel's illegal settlement activities and talk of annexation of occupied territory in Palestine. 

Speaking at Security Council, China's Deputy Permanent Representative to United Nations, Wu Haitao said settlement activities in occupied territory should cease immediately and demolition of Palestinian homes should be stopped.

Wu said China opposes any unilateral moves that may lead to the intensification of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

He said dialogue, negotiation and political consultation are the fundamental way to resolve the Palestine issue urging international community to take two-state solution as its ultimate goal.
