Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi’s comments came as world leaders worked to prevent an escalation of the Israel-Hamas war into a broader Middle East…
More than 1,400 mostly civilians have been killed in Israel in the week after the Hamas militant group staged the worst assault on Israel since the 1973 Yom Kippur War.
China urged Israel to stop its collective punishment of Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip, as the U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken raced through the Middle East over the weekend in an attempt to stave off a wider war in the region. In retaliation, Israel last week pounded Gaza in airstrikes that have killed at least 2,670, cut off food, water, fuel and electricity to the Palestinian enclave, and ordered civilians to evacuate northern Gaza ahead of an expected ground assault aimed at eradicating Hamas.
"Israel has the right – indeed it has the obligation – to defend itself against these attacks from Hamas, and to try to do what it can to make sure that this never happens again," Blinken told reporters as he arrived in Cairo Sunday.
