In a vibrant display of global unity, China's permanent representative Fu Cong welcomed the UN General Assembly's resolution that calls for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and swift humanitarian relief. With the resolution passing by 149 votes in favor, it underscores the strong international call for peace and solidarity. 🚀
Fu Cong expressed regret over the Security Council's failure to pass a similar resolution last week due to a U.S. veto, and he urged Israel to halt its military operations in Gaza. He emphasized that no justification can make the loss of innocent lives acceptable, adding that a lasting ceasefire is the key to saving lives and bringing hostages home. 🙏
Highlighting a critical humanitarian issue, Fu Cong pointed out the irony of massive food supplies stockpiled at Gaza’s borders while civilians face a looming famine. Deeming the blockage a violation of international law, he urged for the immediate lifting of restrictions to allow vital humanitarian aid to reach those in need. 🍲
This resolution serves as a powerful reminder that, despite previous efforts, the international community must work together to ensure peace, justice, and adherence to international humanitarian law. China is set to join global endeavors to ease the humanitarian crisis and support a comprehensive, just, and lasting settlement of the conflict.
Stay tuned as this crucial effort unfolds on the world stage.
