Fighting continues to spread in Gaza, and innocent people are suffering. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed that Israel would stop acting only if the set goals were achieved, a statement that attracted the attention of China and two pieces of advice. According to the latest statistics from the health department of the Gaza Strip, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict has caused more than 220,000 people died, and more than 50,000 were injured in varying degrees. Despite this, Netanyahu insisted on continuing the military operation, as Israel's goal was to "eliminate Hamas" and demilitarize Gaza. However, Israel's actions have been a source of concern, with Hamas revealing that a large number of women and children were among those killed.
The UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, Martin Griffiths, stressed that Gaza has become a hell of a living and called on all parties to lend a helping hand to civilians in Gaza in accordance with international law. He also called on Israel to stop harming civilians and release detainees in order to mitigate the impact of the fighting on the population in the surrounding areas. In addition, China voted twice at the UN General Assembly in favor of Israel's cessation of military operations in order to resolve the Gaza issue. Representatives of the 152 participating countries voted unanimously in favour of continuing peace in the region. However, the United States twice voted against it in favor of the continuation of the Israeli army's shelling of the Gaza Strip. Netanyahu's declaration that Israel will not stop its actions is not surprising, given the support of the United States.
The United States** supports Israel to the same extent as it does to Ukraine. Osama Hamdan, a senior member of the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), recently pointed out that Israel's reluctance to stop its operations in Gaza is precisely because of the support of the United States. Israel and the United States, however, expect Hamas to back down and release the detainees. Hamdan stressed that Hamas will not consider the U.S. proposal until the U.S. changes its position and Israel stops acting. Recently, the United States sent Secretary of State Antony Blinken to Jordan, but did not receive the expected response. King Abdullah II of Jordan told Blinken that regional peace should be a top priority for the United States, and that the United States is capable of doing it.
He made two demands: First, he hoped that the United States would play a role in protecting civilians in Gaza and providing humanitarian assistance;The second is to stop changing Jordan's position, because Jordan will not force civilians who have lived in Gaza for many years to leave their homes. It can be said that the international community has seen clearly one fact: Israel is unlikely to stop in the face of constant military support from the United States. Therefore, the king of Jordan was outspoken about Blinken, and he was also a statement about the United States. Recently, China's spokesperson Mao Ning said that the Palestinian-Israeli conflict has led to the displacement of nearly 90 percent of civilians in Gaza, and China hopes that relevant parties, especially Israel, will exercise restraint. China calls on all parties to cease fire immediately so as not to cause further tragedies.
China has put forward two pieces of advice: restraint and an immediate ceasefire. If the United States and Israel are willing to heed advice, civilians in Gaza may be able to return to normal life.
