Zhang Jun, China's permanent representative to the United Nations and president of the UN Security Council for May, condemned on Monday the violence against civilians in the Middle East and called on the international community to take action to move toward peace and security.
China is deeply concerned about the escalating tensions and violence in East Jerusalem, Zhang said. The clashes between Israeli security forces and Palestinians in the recent days are disturbing, he said.
China condemns actions against civilians, Zhang said. It calls on all sides to exercise restraint and refrain from provocative actions and rhetoric. China also encourages immediate action toward de-escalation.
