Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - International Service: China on Friday expressed its serious concerns over the Israeli plan to occupy Gaza and called on Tel Aviv to immediately stop these dangerous actions. The Foreign Ministry spokesman said in a message to AFP: "Gaza belongs to the Palestinian people and is an inseparable part of the Palestinian territory."
In a long meeting held on Thursday night, the Israeli security cabinet approved Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's proposal to completely occupy Gaza. Itamar Ben-Giver, Minister of Internal Security, also called for the war to continue even if there is a possible agreement and emphasized that Tel Aviv must move forward until it achieves its goals.
However, internal sources in the Israeli regime have stated that the implementation of this operation may take time and will require extensive preparations, mobilization of reserve forces and evacuation of residents of the affected areas.
Meanwhile, reports have been published of pressure from Egypt, Qatar and Turkey on the Hamas resistance movement to return to the negotiating table, which could create an opportunity for an agreement next week, and this issue should be taken into account in the decision-making process.
Netanyahu has explicitly criticized the current army strategy, saying: "I do not want Hamas to remain, but I want to defeat it, and this process cannot continue."
According to the latest reports, international organizations have also warned of the increase in tensions in the Gaza Strip and have called on the international community to take immediate action to prevent the crisis from spreading and human casualties. Some media outlets have also reported that various Palestinian resistance groups are on full alert and that the possibility of escalating conflicts in the coming days is very high.
According to experts, China's concern in this regard is important not only from a humanitarian perspective but also due to regional geopolitical concerns, as the occupation of Gaza could cause further instability in the region and complicate security issues. Studies show that in the current situation, diplomatic pressure from mediating countries can play an important role in reducing tensions, but strict decisions such as the plan to occupy Gaza will narrow the space for political solutions and increase the likelihood of a wider crisis. According to experts, interaction and dialogue are the only effective solutions to reduce conflict and prevent humanitarian catastrophe.
