China says it opposes Israel’s military actions in Gaza, after Israeli officials said expanded operations in the territory would include displacing “most” of its population and holding conquered territory.

“China is highly concerned about the current Palestine-Israel situation,” foreign ministry spokesman Lin Jian says, adding: “We oppose Israel’s ongoing military actions in Gaza, and hope all parties continuously and effectively implement the ceasefire agreement.”
