China Daily  

Smoke rises over Gaza, amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, as seen from Israel in this file photo. Editor's Note: The following are excerpts of remarks by Chinese Ambassador to the United Nations Fu Cong on the UN Security Council draft resolution on a Gaza ceasefire on Wednesday. When the US cast its first veto on October 18 last year, nearly 3,000 civilians had been killed in Gaza. With the continued use of its veto, when the US cast its fifth veto on April 18 this year, the death toll in Gaza had surged to 34,000. Now, nearly 44,000 people have been killed in Gaza, and the US still has not hesitated to use its veto.
