China: Israel's attack on Rafah will lead to a greater human disaster

According to CCTV, citing Xinhua, Xi and Macron announced in a joint statement that they are against the forced migration of Palestinian civilians. This statement was made during Xi's visit to France. The presidents of the Republic of China and France during their meeting in Paris discussed bilateral relations and developments in the Middle East. Shortly after Hamas agreed to the cease-fire plan, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office confirmed in a statement that the Israeli war cabinet had approved the launch of the ground offensive in Rafah. According to the report of the Prime Minister's Office of the Zionist regime, the war cabinet of this regime unanimously decided to launch the Rafah operation to continue "military pressure on Hamas for the release of prisoners and the achievement of other war goals." A few hours later, the Zionist regime attacked Rafah, as a result of which 5 people, including a child, were martyred.
