BEIJING -- China’s permanent representative to the United Nations Fu Cong called on Israel to stop violating a ceasefire in Gaza, state media Xinhua reported on Friday.

Speaking at an emergency UN Security Council session on the humanitarian situation in Gaza, Fu said China views Israel’s continual expansion of military occupation in Gaza with grave concern.

China calls on all parties concerned, particularly Israel, to fully comply with the ceasefire agreement and cease any reckless actions that violate it, according to the Xinhua report.
