Chinese Envoy Urges Israel to Halt Gaza Offensive

On Tuesday, China’s envoy to the UN, Fu Cong, called on Israel to “renounce its obsession with the use of force” and immediately stop military operations in Gaza, following airstrikes that killed hundreds of Palestinians.

“China deeply regrets the damage done to the hard-won ceasefire and is gravely concerned by Israel’s renewed hostilities,” Fu told the UN Security Council. “We strongly condemn this escalation.”

He emphasized that the ceasefire should be honored fully and in good faith, warning against actions that could undermine the agreement.

Fu also urged Israel, as the occupying power, to meet its obligations under international humanitarian law and restore full humanitarian access to Gaza.
