China has taken a firm stance against Israel’s intensified military operations in Gaza, calling for an immediate end to hostilities to prevent further civilian casualties. 🌍 The Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson, Lin Jian, emphasized Beijing’s opposition to actions that 'violate international law' during a press briefing Wednesday.
What’s Happening?
Israeli forces launched ground offensives and airstrikes in Gaza City this week, following U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s statement supporting Israel’s plans to dismantle Hamas. The UN reported that 40% of Gaza’s population has fled, while an independent commission accused Israel of committing genocide against Palestinians—a claim Israel denies.
China’s Message to the World
Lin urged Israel to heed global concerns, stressing: "Achieve a full ceasefire now to avoid a larger humanitarian disaster." He also called on international players to prioritize regional stability and 'play a constructive role' in de-escalation. 🕯️
The conflict’s rising death toll and displacement numbers have sparked worldwide protests, with many young activists demanding urgent diplomatic solutions. 💬
