China has called for an urgent ceasefire in Gaza during a heated UN Security Council debate, comparing the war-torn territory to a "living hell" after nearly two years of conflict. Deputy UN Ambassador Geng Shuang didn’t hold back: "Violence cannot bring security – force won’t deliver peace." 💥
Highlighting Israel’s recent strike on Nasser Hospital that killed 20+ civilians, Geng warned that seizing Gaza City could spark more bloodshed. "Harming civilians is unacceptable," he declared, urging Israel to open border crossings for aid and stop "deliberately obstructing" humanitarian efforts. 🚛
But tensions don’t stop there – China also slammed Israel’s new West Bank settlement plans, saying they threaten Palestine’s territorial future. 🌍 Geng pushed world leaders to revive the two-state solution, stressing: "Influential countries must take fair, responsible action."
With Gaza’s crisis deepening, China vows to collaborate globally for lasting peace. Will this UN plea shift the tide? 🤝
