Wordcount: 328
China has called on Israel to comply with international humanitarian law and prioritize the safety of Palestinian civilians amidst the ongoing conflict with Hamas. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi stressed the importance of upholding these laws during a recent phone conversation with his Israeli counterpart, Eli Cohen.
As Israel’s war against Hamas enters its third week, the Chinese government has reiterated the need for both parties to engage in peaceful negotiations. China expressed its support for any resolution that promotes peace and reconciliation between the conflicting parties.
The conflict unfolded when Hamas, a Palestinian militant group, launched a surprise attack on southern Israel. In response, Israel has been conducting a series of airstrikes targeting the Gaza Strip, which is controlled by Hamas.
Tragically, the violence has led to numerous casualties. According to reports, at least 1,400 people have been killed in Israel, while an estimated 5,000 have lost their lives in the Gaza Strip. However, these figures cannot be independently verified by CNBC.
Amidst the escalating violence, China’s call for Israel to abide by international humanitarian law holds significant weight. By urging the protection of Palestinian civilians, China joins an international community concerned about the escalating conflict and its humanitarian toll.
China’s emphasis on peace talks echoes the sentiments of other countries striving to find a peaceful solution to the Israeli-Hamas conflict. Amidst the calls for de-escalation, the Chinese government emphasizes the importance of dialogue to achieve a lasting resolution.
As the crisis continues to unfold, international attention remains focused on the conflict’s human and humanitarian costs. China’s push for adherence to international humanitarian law underscores the need for responsible conduct from all parties involved in the conflict, with the ultimate goal of ending the violence and establishing lasting peace in the region.
