China should offer to send peacekeepers. They aren't closely associated with either side. If Israel attacked the peacekeepers it would be an act of war, against a far superior opponent. And China would take responsibility for ensuring that the Gazans did not attack Israel. Neither side would be happy, but they'd both have means and incentive to maintain a ceasefire. It wouldn't be an open-ended commitment. They'd plan a transition. The US has a history of botching such transitions, but China often has a different take on things. Perhaps they'd be more successful. And it would put them in a good position to broker a two-state solution. That seems more productive than just claiming to support negotiations.

hamas rejects foreign military presence. what will happen when they will attack Chinese ? or what will happen when hamas will start shooting rockets at israel ? (see lebanon/hezbollah/unifil as example)

  When Hamas starts shooting rockets at Israel, and at the Chinese peacekeepers, the Chinese peacekeepers will have to deal with it. Which is basically my way of saying, "Put up or shut up, China." Hamas attacks on Israel are a fact, and any ceasefire requires addressing that. "Just let them shoot you" is not an answer.

    in other words Chinese are expected to put their soldier in situation where they people will be killed ? why would they do it ? (and there is a reason why there is nobody who suggested to step in. even arab countries condition their assistance on removal of hamas)

  Or China could help expel Israel from land that isn't it's and prevent it from indiscriminately killing civilians and allowing actual NGO's access as opposed to propaganda GFH that's there to allow the killing to continue. That's usually the point of having peacekeepers.

  The most obvious place for Palestinian refugees to go is Israel. After all, most families in Gaza originally came from Israel, before they were expelled in 1948.
