As of last night, 232 Palestinians were dead, with 1,700 wounded; 12 Israelis were dead, with 335 wounded. The bloodshed is the legacy of the long-standing British policy impact in the extended region, which has reached the point of economic and social breakdown, and murderous figures like Benjamin Netanyahu. Within hours of the ceasefire, China announced an aid package for Gaza of $1 million and 200,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccine. Today, the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman said that China, which holds the chairmanship of the UN Security Council this month, will make it a priority to intervene through the UN Security Council and as a supporting nation, to get action underway on the two-state solution for Israel and Palestine.
