Beijing warns the truce remains “very fragile” after new Israeli attacks, saying humanitarian relief and regional stability hinge on honoring the ceasefire agreed in October.
China urges full enforcement of Gaza ceasefire as Israel continues deadly strikes
China has called for the Gaza ceasefire to be “effectively” implemented, warning that the situation remains “very fragile” amid continued Israeli attacks on the besieged enclave.
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian made the remarks at a news conference in Beijing on Thursday, responding to questions about fresh Israeli strikes that violated the ceasefire agreement that took effect on October 10.
Phase one of the ceasefire arrangement includes a swap of Israeli hostages for Palestinian prisoners, along with plans to rebuild Gaza and form a new governing structure that excludes Hamas.
Since October 2023, Israeli attacks have killed more than 70,000 Palestinians—mostly women and children—and wounded nearly 171,000 others.
