China Urges Comprehensive Gaza Peace Conference amid Escalating Conflict
TL;DR
China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi called for a peace conference on the Gaza conflict and urged the prompt resumption of Israel-Palestinian peace talks, while Hamas aired a video of three Israeli hostages and said their fate would be disclosed on Monday. The U.S. military shot down an anti-ship cruise missile fired from Houthi militant areas of Yemen toward a U.S. destroyer in the Southern Red Sea, and Israel continued its offensive in Gaza, targeting Hamas positions. The war in Gaza has also led to violence in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, with Palestinian health officials reporting the deaths of five Palestinians, including boys aged 14, 16, and 17, in separate incidents.
