Cairo: China demands cease-fire in Gaza and independent Palestinian state. This was requested by Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi during a press conference held in Cairo with Egyptian Foreign Minister Samih Shoukry on the 100th day of the occupation of Gaza.
He said the establishment of an independent, sovereign Palestinian state based on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital is essential. The two said in a joint statement that as the massacre of civilians in Gaza has entered its 100th day, there should be an immediate ceasefire.
Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that even if the International Court of Justice rules for a cease-fire in Gaza, the war will continue until the goal is achieved. In a televised address to the nation on the 100th day of the Gaza offensive, Netanyahu said that not only the international court or the axis of devils, but also the world cannot stop them.
On the 100th day of protests against Israel’s aggression, Netanyahu’s response by calling out Iran and the Houthis is rising. Earlier, Israel had come forward against South Africa, which had approached the international court accusing it of genocide.
125 people were killed in Gaza in 24 hours in 11 locations by Israel. With this, the total number of people killed has reached 23,968. 60,582 people were injured. 40 Palestinians were arrested during the search, including in the Jenin camp in the West Bank. Two sisters of Hamas leader Salih al-Aruri, who was killed in Beirut, are among those arrested.
The Israeli army said 1,106 soldiers had been wounded since the ground war began. 240 people are in critical condition. In 24 hours, 12 soldiers were injured in the attack of the Al-Qassam Brigade, which continued to resist fiercely. The head of the UN agency for Palestine refugees, Filipe Lazzarini, has warned that Gaza is heading for severe food shortages. Meanwhile, U.K. Foreign Secretary David Cameron said the Houthis would not hesitate to attack again if they continue to disrupt shipping through the Red Sea.
