Today, China announced its support for a new draft resolution in the United Nations (UN) Security Council demanding an “immediate” ceasefire in Gaza.
The new draft resolution is being proposed a few days after China, like Russia, vetoed the proposed US resolution.
“China supports this draft resolution and welcomes the hard work of Algeria and other Arab countries in this regard,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian said.
“We hope that the Security Council will approve it as soon as possible and send a strong signal for the cessation of hostilities,” he added.
The vote, which was scheduled for Saturday, was postponed until today to avoid another setback.
