The Chinese government criticized Israel's bombings of Lebanon this Tuesday following the agreement reached between the United States and Iran, calling for "restraint, both in words and in deeds" to consolidate the ceasefire and achieve a peace agreement in the Middle East.
“We urge the relevant parties to act with restraint, both in words and in deeds, to defend the option of peace, to faithfully comply with ceasefire agreements, to achieve a comprehensive and lasting ceasefire, and to foster the conditions for peace and stability throughout the Middle East,” said Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Lin Jian.
In this regard, he emphasized that Beijing “is very concerned” about the continuation of these Israeli attacks and underscored that the “sovereignty and security” of Lebanon must be respected, according to the Chinese newspaper *Global Times*, after Iran asserted that the ceasefire applies to all fronts and warned the United States of the impact of Israel's actions.
Pakistan, which has undertaken mediation efforts, announced on Sunday a memorandum of understanding between Washington and Tehran—confirmed by both parties—to end the open warfare in the Middle East caused by the surprise offensive launched on February 28 by the United States and Israel against the Asian nation.
