In a passionate plea for peace, Chinese envoy Fu Cong addressed the United Nations Security Council on Wednesday, urging immediate actions to ease the escalating tensions between Lebanon and Israel. ✌️🌍
\"The Security Council bears the primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security,\" Fu stressed during the briefing, emphasizing the urgent need for a unified approach.
Fu outlined key measures: establishing an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, reducing hostilities in the Lebanese-Israeli region to break the cycle of violence, preventing the spread of conflict, and steering all parties back to political and diplomatic dialogues.
Highlighting the dire humanitarian crisis, Fu described Gaza as \"a hell on Earth,\" with massive destruction, thousands of casualties, and over a million displaced in Lebanon. 😢
The ambassador called for respect of international humanitarian laws and the protection of civilians, reinforcing the importance of the neutrality of the UN Interim Force in Lebanon and the safety of UN peacekeepers. \"UN assets and personnel should not be the target of armed attacks,\" he affirmed.
