Why it matters:
The criticism from a major global power like China adds significant diplomatic pressure and highlights the growing international fallout from the strike, which the U.S. itself has distanced itself from, calling it "unilateral."
The big picture:
Israeli regime killed Hamas political leaders with an airstrike on Doha on Tuesday (September 9), expanding its military campaign in the region. The attack represents a major expansion of the aggression and is testing the limits of international alliances, creating a rift between close allies Israeli regime and the U.S. while giving other powers like China an opening to position themselves as more responsible actors.
What he's saying:
Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Lin Jian urged certain major countries to change their approach.
Key points:
- China expressed concern about the strike and its potential for escalation.
- It directly linked the incident to an "unbalanced stance of certain external powers on Middle East issues," a clear reference to the U.S.
- The spokesperson urged these countries to "prioritise regional peace and stability, maintain a fair and responsible attitude."
- China called for international cooperation to "promote ceasefire and de-escalation."
