China: US Veto at UN Security Council Prevents Resolution to Stop Zionist Regime Attacks on Gaza

China's ambassador to the UN considers the United States' veto of a Security Council resolution to stop the Zionist regime's attacks on the Gaza Strip unjustified. Zhang Jun, China's Ambassador to the UN, said Wednesday (18/10/2023), "The veto of Brazil's proposed Middle East resolution to stop the conflict between the Israeli regime and the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) at the UN Security Council cannot be justified by the United States." "To protect civilians and prevent a humanitarian disaster, the war between Israel and Hamas needs to be stopped," said Zhang Jun.

Referring to the fact that hundreds of civilians were killed in airstrikes on hospitals in Gaza, the Chinese Ambassador to the UN expressed, "We condemn the airstrikes on these hospitals and call on Israel to seriously fulfill its obligations under international humanitarian law." The second open meeting of the UN Security Council began on Wednesday to review the Palestinian situation, especially in Gaza, and the resolution proposed by Brazil sparked opposition from the United States with its veto.
