Reacting to the United States veto of a draft United Nations Security Council (UNSC) resolution on the Israel-Hamas war, blocking a demand for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire, China has termed the US move as a “license to kill”.
China’s permanent representative to the UN Zhang Jun has said that objection to a ceasefire in Gaza is nothing different from giving a green light to continued slaughter.”
The U.S. veto sends a wrong message, pushing the situation in Gaza into a more dangerous one, says Zhang Jun.
