In a fervent call for peace, China's permanent representative to the United Nations, Fu Cong, urged Israel to renounce its "obsession with the use of force" and to immediately halt its airstrikes in Gaza. Fu stressed that military means will not resolve the long-standing Palestinian-Israeli conflict, noting that the stark contrast between extended periods of conflict and brief ceasefire windows clearly shows that force is not the answer. 🕊️
Fu Cong condemned recent operations that have resulted in heavy casualties, emphasizing that the ceasefire agreement must be fully and faithfully implemented without any attempts to undermine it. He also highlighted China's strong opposition to the politicization and weaponization of humanitarian aid—a move that violates international law and endangers civilians even further.
Moreover, Fu urged the United Nations Security Council to take decisive actions to restore peace in the region. He reaffirmed China's support for the Gaza recovery and reconstruction plan, which calls for Palestinians to govern their own territory, enabling them to rebuild their homes safely and securely. As tensions continue to mount, his remarks serve as a vital reminder that dialogue and adherence to international humanitarian law are essential for lasting peace.
