China Urges Israel's Crimes in Gaza to Stop Immediately

The Palestinian muqawama faction on October 7 2023 launched the al-Aqsa Storm operation from Gaza attacking Israeli positions, and this regime, in order to retaliate, cover up the defeat and stop the muqawama faction's operations, began bombarding the residential, hospital and cultural areas of the Gaza Strip. Israel's brutal attacks have so far displaced more than 23 thousand Gaza residents and injured more than 59 thousand others. Israel's military attack on Gaza has received a strong response from people from various countries in the world and the region, but to date various international institutions, including the UN, have been unable to stop the attack. According to an Al Jazeera television report, the Chinese Foreign Ministry on Wednesday (10/1/2024) stated in its statement, "The various parties involved in the conflict in the Gaza Strip must implement the UN Security Council (UNSC-DK) resolution." In the Chinese Foreign Ministry's statement, Beijing demands a complete ceasefire and an immediate end to the conflict, and Israel must stop mass punishment of the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip. Meanwhile, the World Bank warned in its report referring to the continuing crisis in the occupied territories that the world economy is experiencing the weakest economic growth in the last 30 years and that it expects a slow process of economic recovery after Corona and crippling wars in Ukraine and West Asia, significantly affecting production economy . According to this report, there is a risk that the war in Gaza will turn into a wider conflict, which could cause oil and food prices to rise and prices to rise again. In the World Bank report, it is stated that the recent war in West Asia, which is not so far from Russia's invasion of Ukraine, has also increased geopolitical risks . The World Bank's warning regarding the continuation or possible escalation of the war in Gaza is in a situation where Western countries, led by the United States, continue to fully support the brutal and criminal actions of the Israeli regime, causing the situation to worsen, as well as the arrogance of this regime to continue its crimes against Palestinian people.  

Still according to this report, the Israeli military over the past 24 hours evacuated 12 people in various areas of the Gaza Strip and evacuated 194 other people. In connection with this, the al-Qassam Brigade, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Muqawama Movement (Hamas) and the al-Quds Brigade, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad Movement, launched a joint operation to fire mortars at the command center of the Quds occupying regime in the east of Khan Yunis in the south of the Gaza Strip in retaliation. for the crimes of this illegal regime. This operation succeeded in killing a number of Zionist soldiers. Meanwhile, Lebanese Hezbollah fighters reportedly attacked the Zionist colonial regime's espionage equipment at the Hadab al-Bustan, Hanita and al-Baghdadi military bases. In this attack, a number of Zionist soldiers were killed. In connection with this, and at the same time as the International Court of Justice (ICJ) hearing in The Hague discussing South Africa's complaints against Israel, a large demonstration was held in The Hague, Netherlands. South Africa complained about the genocide against the Palestinian people by the Israeli Zionist regime in the Gaza Strip to the ICJ in The Hague. Ronald Lamola, South African Minister of Justice, after the first hearing discussing his country's complaint against the Israeli Zionist regime for genocide to the ICJ, said, "We ask this court to stop Israel's military operations into the Gaza Strip." Lamola further added that Gaza had turned into ruins, and the ICJ had to release a decision regarding what happened in the Gaza Strip.
