Reference Message Network reported on June 14 that according to a report from Singapore's Lianhe Zaobao website on June 14, Chinese permanent representative to the United Nations, Congfu Fu, urged Israel to immediately stop all military adventurism actions and avoid further escalation of the tense situation on the emergency public meeting of the UN Security Council on the Middle East situation on June 13.
Since the early morning of June 13, Israel has launched large-scale airstrikes against many places in Iran, bombing Iran's nuclear facilities and military targets. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu said that Israel's strikes on Iran would "last for days". On the same evening, Iran retaliated with airstrikes against Israel, and explosion sounds were heard in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. The U.S. military assisted in shooting down missiles heading towards Israel.
The UN Security Council held an emergency public meeting on June 13. China condemned Israel's behavior of infringing on Iran's sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity, opposed escalating conflicts and expanding conflicts, and expressed deep concern about the possible serious consequences of Israel's relevant actions.
He said that China urged Israel to immediately stop all military adventurism actions, avoid further escalation of the tense situation, and called on all parties concerned to comply with the United Nations Charter and international law, resolve disputes through political and diplomatic means, and jointly maintain regional peace and stability.
Congfu Fu said that China was seriously concerned about the negative impact of the current situation development on the diplomatic negotiations on the Iranian nuclear issue. China consistently adhered to peacefully resolving the Iranian nuclear issue through dialogue and negotiation, opposed resorting to force and illegal unilateral sanctions, and opposed armed attacks on peaceful nuclear facilities. Iran's right to peacefully use nuclear energy as a contracting party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons should be fully respected.
In addition, he also stated that for some time, the Middle East region has been plagued by prolonged conflicts, and the regional situation was highly tense. The Gaza Strip has been under long-term attack and siege, with more than 2 million people trapped in unprecedented humanitarian disasters.
He appealed that the international community should make joint efforts to promote the ceasefire in Gaza, cool down the regional situation, and effectively curb the expansion and spread of conflicts. Countries with important influence on Israel should play a constructive role in reality. The Security Council should make full use of all means granted by the United Nations Charter, ensure the implementation of relevant resolutions of the Security Council, and play its due role in maintaining regional peace and security.
