The Chinese leader lamented the "drastic deterioration" of the situation in the Gaza Strip in recent months and called for "not weakening the commitment" of the region to a "two-state solution".
China "supports the creation of a fully sovereign Palestinian state" and its participation as a full member of the United Nations, he said.
Xi also stated that the Asian country will donate 500 million yuan (65.1 million euros) in humanitarian aid to Gaza.
The head of state also defended, in the speech that opened the 10th Ministerial Conference of the Forum for China-Arab States Cooperation, taking place today in Beijing, the need for "joint efforts" between China and the Arab countries, in order to "find solutions to the most urgent global issues".
Xi expressed hope that the two parties "will strengthen cooperation in areas such as gas, oil, trade and infrastructure".
In addition to China, today's conference is attended by representatives from Yemen, Morocco, Libya, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, Somalia, Sudan, Djibouti, Tunisia, United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Bahrain, Algeria, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Syria, Palestine, Comoros, Lebanon, Egypt and Mauritania.
