The Israeli statement continued, “The Chinese announcements do not contain any element of Israel’s right to defend itself and its citizens, a fundamental right of any sovereign country that was attacked in an unprecedented manner and with cruelty that has no place in human society.”

China gave little ground in response to Israel’s complaints, offering a simple reaffirmation towards de-escalation and peace in the region.

“China will continue to work unremittingly for de-escalation of the situation and the resumption of peace talks,” said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin.
