A Chinese envoy to the United Nations on Tuesday called for immediate action to curb escalating violence in the occupied Palestinian territories, urging Israel to halt settlement activities and fully implement the Gaza ceasefire agreement.
Fu Cong, China's permanent representative to the United Nations, told an emergency Security Council meeting on the Palestinian question that China is "deeply concerned" about the recent escalation and mounting civilian casualties.
"The Palestinian issue must not be ignored or marginalized," Fu said, calling on the international community to act swiftly to stop violence, save innocent lives and uphold justice.
