China’s UN Ambassador Dai Bing told the UN Security Council that a suspected Israeli attack on Iran’s consulate in Syria was of an “extremely vicious nature”, Al Jazeera reports.
He called the April 1 attack a grave violation of international law and a breach of the sovereignty of both countries.
Dai Bing also expressed “deep concern” over Iran’s attack on Israel and called for “maximum calm and restraint” from all parties. China also demanded an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and said the “humanitarian catastrophe” there was “unacceptable”.
