According to Hua Liming, the visits reflect the new Chinese leadership's focus on the situations in the Middle East as well as the growing expectations of countries in the region for China to have a clearer voice and a more constructive influence.

"Both Palestinian and Israeli leaders attach great importance to China's active and significant influence on the peace progress," Hua said.

China's economic and trade ties with Middle East countries, along with its influence in the region, have been growing stronger in recent years amid the world economic crisis. The country is now Israel's largest trading partner in Asia and the third largest in the world.

"The peace situation in the Middle East is of key importance to China," said An Huihou, former Chinese Ambassador to Egypt.

Such a diplomatic approach echoes Xi Jinping's call for the global goals of peace and prosperity prior to the fifth BRICS summit in March in Durban, South Africa.

"China will unswervingly follow the path of peaceful development. In the meantime, we hope all countries in the world will pursue peaceful development," Xi said.

According to the Chinese president, China hopes countries and civilizations around the world will carry out exchanges on an equal footing, learn form each other and achieve common progress.
