China urges the international community to work towards easing tensions between Iran and Israel.

On the 20th, China's Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Fu Cong, spoke at the emergency public meeting of the Security Council regarding the Middle East situation, urging the international community to make every effort to promote peace and dialogue, to ease tensions. Fu Cong stated that the military conflict between Israel and Iran has resulted in numerous civilian casualties and damage to facilities on both sides, which is heartbreaking. If the conflict escalates further, not only will both parties suffer greater losses, but the regional countries will also be severely affected. Israel's actions violate international law and the norms of international relations, infringe upon Iran's sovereignty and security, and undermine regional peace and stability, which China firmly condemns.
