China has taken a strong stance against recent Israeli attacks on United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) positions, resulting in injuries to two UN peacekeepers. The Chinese Foreign Ministry, through spokesperson Mao Ning, labeled the attacks as a severe violation of international humanitarian law and UN Security Council Resolution 1701.
Mao Ning emphasized that any deliberate assault on UN peacekeepers is \"absolutely unacceptable\" and called for an immediate cessation of such actions. China is demanding a thorough investigation into the incident, accountability for those responsible, and robust measures to prevent similar occurrences in the future.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry also urged all parties involved, particularly Israel, to de-escalate tensions, ensure the safety of UN personnel, and prevent the conflict from spiraling out of control. China reaffirmed its commitment to upholding the safety and integrity of UN peacekeeping missions worldwide.
