Speaking at the United Nations Security Council, China’s representative to the UN, Zhang Jun, has said that a ceasefire in Gaza is an “urgent imperative to save innocent lives and to prevent a wider war”.
He criticised the US for exercising its veto on Wednesday on a resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, and called on Washington to show a “responsible attitude” and “respect the established consensus”.
“An immediate ceasefire is the common wish voiced by the international community and the consensus of the council’s overwhelming majority,” he said.
