The ?flames? of Israel’s war with Hamas are threatening to engulf the entire Middle East, Beijing’s ambassador to the UN has said
Iran’s retaliatory strikes on Israel constitute an „adverse spillover“ of the Gaza conflict, China’s ambassador to the United Nations has said, warning that it could spread further and make the entire Middle East even more unstable.
Dai Bing made the remarks after Tehran launched a series of airstrikes on Israel over the weekend in retaliation for the bombing of an Iranian consular compound in Syria, which killed seven military personnel, including two generals.
Israel has not commented on the incident since Iran accused it of conducting an extraterritorial assassination.
Speaking at a UN Security Council emergency meeting on Sunday, Dai condemned Israel’s „vicious attack,“ which he described as a „grave violation of the UN Charter and international law, and a breach of the sovereignty of both Syria and Iran.
