China Calls Israeli War on Gaza Disgrace for Civilization

China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi has condemned Israel's war in Gaza as a "disgrace for civilization" and reiterated China's calls for an "immediate ceasefire." "It is a tragedy for humankind and a disgrace for civilization that today, in the 21st century, this humanitarian disaster cannot be stopped," Wang told journalists at a press conference on March 6. "No reason can justify the continuation of the conflict, and no excuse can justify the killing of a civilian population," Wang said. "The international community must act urgently, making an immediate ceasefire and the cessation of hostilities an overriding priority, and ensuring humanitarian relief an urgent moral responsibility."
