"Ambassador Fu expressed China's deep concern about the situation in Lebanon, stating, 'We do believe that we should revisit the decision, actually, to withdraw the UNIFIL.' He emphasized that the overwhelming majority of the Security Council feels it is not the right time to withdraw UNIFIL from Lebanon."
"Fu described the current state of conflict as a lesser fire, asserting that 'a genuine ceasefire did not exist in Lebanon.' He called for Israel to stop its bombardment, indicating the urgent need for peace in the region."
"According to Lebanese authorities, Israeli attacks on Lebanon since March 2 have resulted in 2,618 deaths and displaced over one million people. The UNIFIL mission has also faced increasing casualties amid this ongoing violence."
UNIFIL has experienced rising casualties due to Israeli air raids and Hezbollah's retaliatory actions. China's UN ambassador, Fu Cong, emphasized the need to reassess the Security Council's decision to withdraw UNIFIL's mandate. He stated that a true ceasefire does not exist, labeling the current situation as a lesser fire. Fu indicated that the majority of the Security Council believes it is inappropriate to withdraw UNIFIL at this time. He also highlighted the urgent need for Israel to cease its bombardment of Lebanon.
