At a recent UN Security Council meeting, China's Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Fu Cong, delivered a passionate appeal for an immediate and lasting ceasefire in Gaza. With the conflict escalating since May 16 and over 1,000 civilian lives lost in just two weeks, his words resonated with urgency and hope.
Fu Cong stressed the need for all parties to adhere to international humanitarian law. He warned that prolonging the conflict will only deepen hatred and complicate hostage releases. He called on Israel to halt military operations, lift the blockade, and restore access to essential humanitarian supplies—all while ensuring the safety of civilians and humanitarian workers. 🙏
Further, the envoy emphasized that Gaza and the West Bank are inseparable parts of the Palestinian state. He urged the international community to firmly oppose any moves toward annexation or forced displacement, and he called on influential figures, including the U.S., to act fairly and responsibly. His message underlined that a comprehensive, just, and lasting solution—especially through the two-state solution—is the only viable path to peace in the region. ✌️
This call for peace reminds us that dialogue and international cooperation are the keys to resolving conflicts. As young global citizens, staying informed and supporting humanitarian efforts can make a difference, helping pave the way for a more peaceful and just future. 🌍
