KUALA LUMPUR: Communities joined governments across the world in condemning Israel’s attacks on the Gaza Strip, appealing for peace to be restored.
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi has called on the UN Security Council to seek an early de-escalation of violence between Israel and Gaza’s Hamas rulers.
“Regrettably, the Security Council has so far failed to reach an agreement, with the United States standing on the opposite side of international justice, ” the state-run Xinhua News Agency quoted Wang as saying in a phone conversation with Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi.
