China calls for UN Security Council to reconsider UNIFIL mandate termination in Lebanon
China's UN ambassador Fu Cong stated on Friday that the Security Council should revisit its decision to end UNIFIL's mandate in Lebanon, set to expire later this year. Fu expressed concern that genuine ceasefire conditions do not exist, describing the situation as a 'lesser fire,' and argued that withdrawing the peacekeeping mission is not appropriate at this time. China claimed the overwhelming majority of the Security Council shares this view.
