Hey amigos! Things are heating up in the Middle East, and China\u2019s permanent representative to the UN, Fu Cong, is stepping in to cool things down. On Wednesday, he urged the United Nations Security Council to take action to de-escalate the situation between Lebanon and Israel.
\\"The Security Council bears the primary responsibility for maintaining international peace and security,\\" Fu said during a briefing. He emphasized the need for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and called for efforts to prevent the spread of fighting.
Fu warned that the situation is \\"hanging by a thread,\\" and any delays could have serious consequences. \\"We hope major countries with influence will adopt a sincere and responsible attitude,\\" he added. ✌️
The conflict has led to a humanitarian crisis, with Fu describing Gaza as \\"a hell on Earth.\\" There's been massive destruction, thousands of casualties, and over a million people displaced in Lebanon. 😢
He called on all parties to respect international humanitarian law and protect civilians. Fu also stressed the importance of keeping UN peacekeepers safe, saying, \\"UN assets and personnel should not be the target of armed attacks.\\"
Let's hope for peace and a better future for everyone involved. 🌏❤️
