WATCH How China Blasts Israel As The ‘Occupying Power’ at the United Nations

In a fiery intervention at the United Nations, China accused Israel of being the “occupying power” in Gaza and demanded an immediate halt to its plans to seize Palestinian land. Speaking at the UN, Chinese Deputy Permanent Representative Geng Shuang warned that Israel’s intentions would further inflame regional tensions and undermine peace efforts. He sharply criticized Israel for showing “low political will” toward any genuine action for peace, accusing Tel Aviv of escalating the conflict instead of resolving it. China reaffirmed its support for a two-state solution and emphasized the urgent need for the international community to hold Israel accountable. The strong remarks mark one of Beijing’s boldest positions yet on the Gaza crisis, underscoring its growing influence in Middle East diplomacy. Israel has yet to respond formally, but the comments highlight widening global divisions over Gaza and the future of the Palestinian territories. #China #Israel #UnitedNations #Gaza #Palestine #OccupyingPower #MiddleEastConflict #GengShuang #UNSpeech #IsraelPalestine #TwoStateSolution #ChinaUN #GlobalDiplomacy #GazaCrisis #UNResolution #IsraelOccupied #ChinaIsrael #PeaceTalks #Geopolitics #BreakingNews

Houthis Hypersonic Hellfire: Tel-Aviv Ben Gurion Airport Hit | Chaos & Panic Grips Tel-Aviv | VIDEO

In a dramatic escalation, Yemen’s Armed Forces have claimed responsibility for a massive drone and missile assault targeting key Israeli infrastructure, including Ben Gurion Airport, Ashdod Port, and the Eilat Port. Yemeni military spokesman Brig. Gen. Yahya Saree confirmed the use of the indigenous ‘Palestine 2’ hypersonic missile and locally built UAVs in retaliation against Israeli strikes on Yemen and in solidarity with Gaza. The strike forced Israel to shut down its primary international airport, with sirens sounding across the Dead Sea area. The Yemeni Armed Forces declared their readiness for prolonged confrontation and reiterated a vow to continue strategic blockades and attacks until Israel halts its Gaza offensive. With over 57,000 Palestinians dead since October 2023, the operation underscores a widening regional war and a unified resistance front across West Asia. Israeli interceptors reportedly failed to stop the attacks, raising serious concerns about defense gaps. #YemenMissileStrike #BenGurionHit #Palestine2Missile #IsraelUnderAttack #GazaWar #HypersonicMissile #YemenIsraelConflict #EilatAttack #AshdodPortStrike #DroneWarfare #YahyaSaree #MiddleEastTensions #BRICSResponse #TelAvivUnderFire #AirstrikeOnIsrael #GazaBlockade #IsraelYemenTensions #RedSeaCrisis #ResistanceFront #MissileWarning ~ED.420~HT.408~GR.125~
