China renews its call for stopping the Israeli aggression against Gaza Strip
China’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Zhang Jun, called for an end to the Israeli aggression on Gaza Strip, stressing that the prospects for reaching a peaceful solution to the conflict in the Middle East are on the verge of collapse.
During a speech he delivered at a UN Security Council meeting last night on the situation in Gaza Strip, Zhang explained, “We deeply sympathize with the Palestinian people in Gaza Strip who are standing on the brink of life and death, we are also concerned about the prospects of the peace process, which is on the verge of collapse,” he said, stressing that China calls for the establishment of a humanitarian truce and for the international community to do everything in its power to prevent further escalation.
He added: China calls on all parties that can influence this conflict to put aside their geopolitical interests and make every effort to stop the war and restore peace.
The UN Security Council has so far failed to take any decision to stop the ongoing Israeli aggression against Gaza Strip due to the United States’ use of its veto in support of the Israeli entity’s position.
