Beijing has confirmed the evacuation of hundreds of Chinese citizens from Israel as tensions between the two countries continue to rise.
A spokesperson for China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated during a regular press briefing on Thursday that the evacuations were carried out in response to the deteriorating security situation in the region, with escalating hostilities between Tehran and Tel Aviv prompting growing concerns for the safety of foreign nationals.
The spokesperson emphasized that China remains deeply concerned about the ongoing conflict and is urging all parties involved to take immediate and concrete steps to de-escalate the situation.
China’s move comes as part of broader diplomatic efforts to protect its citizens and encourage international cooperation for regional stability. Beijing has maintained a neutral stance on the conflict while calling for peaceful dialogue and restraint.
