In a powerful appeal for peace, China's Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Fu Cong, called for an immediate and lasting ceasefire in Gaza during a recent UN Security Council meeting. His message was clear: extending the conflict only deepens the humanitarian disaster and fuels more death and hatred. 💔
With densely populated areas suffering extensive devastation and over 1,000 Gazan civilian lives lost in just two weeks, Fu emphasized the absolute need for all parties to adhere to international humanitarian law. He urged that humanitarian assistance be allowed to reach those in need and that civilian facilities, along with humanitarian workers, be strictly protected.
Fu also reminded everyone that Gaza and the West Bank are inseparable parts of the Palestinian state, warning against changes that could lead to forced displacement or annexation. He pointed out that a fair and practical resolution lies in implementing the two-state solution—a path that offers the best chance for lasting peace in the Middle East.
This call for peace resonates especially with our young, tech-savvy, and socially conscious audience in South and Southeast Asia. In our fast-paced world, staying informed and engaged in global issues is key. Let’s keep the conversation going and support efforts that aim to restore stability and hope for a better future. ✌️
