China calls on Palestine and Israel to cease fire as soon as possible to prevent a more serious humanitarian disaster
On the 13th local time, the United Nations Security Council held emergency consultations on the Palestinian-Israeli situation, and Zhang Jun, China's permanent representative to the United Nations, elaborated China's position on the current grim Palestinian-Israeli situation, and called for all efforts to promote a ceasefire as soon as possible and prevent a more serious humanitarian disaster.
Zhang Jun said that the new round of Palestinian-Israeli conflict has caused large-scale civilian casualties and humanitarian crises. The protection of civilians in armed conflict is a red line under international humanitarian law, and the use of force without discrimination is unacceptable. The safety of United Nations staff and humanitarian workers must be guaranteed. China condemns all violence and attacks against civilians and opposes all practices that violate international law. China once again calls on all parties to exercise the utmost restraint and achieve a ceasefire as soon as possible to prevent further escalation of tensions, further spillover of fighting and a greater impact on regional and international security.
Zhang Jun said that China is seriously concerned about the consequences of Israel's comprehensive blockade of Gaza and the emergency evacuation of people from northern Gaza. Israel is called upon to heed the call of the international community and the Secretary-General of the United Nations to put an end to the collective punishment of the people of Gaza and to avoid artificially aggravating the humanitarian catastrophe.
China supports active discussions on the opening of the Gaza humanitarian corridor and reaching feasible arrangements as soon as possible. China supports diplomatic mediation to ensure the personal safety and humanitarian needs of the detainees, release them as soon as possible and return home safely.
Zhang Jun pointed out that the fundamental way to resolve the Palestinian-Israeli issue lies in the resumption of genuine peace talks as soon as possible, the realization of the legitimate rights of the Palestinian nation, and the peaceful coexistence of two states, Palestine and Israel. While carrying out crisis management, the international community must adhere to the fundamental direction of the two-state solution, promote the building of a broader consensus, and formulate a timetable and road map to this end.
