His words are reported by RIA Novosti.

At a meeting of the UN Security Council, he stressed that an immediate ceasefire is a fundamental prerequisite for saving lives, expanding humanitarian access and preventing a wider conflict.

According to Zhang Jun, the US draft, on the contrary, establishes a precondition for a ceasefire, which is nothing more than a “green light” for the killing to continue.”

In addition, the draft does not contain a clear objection to Israel's plans to carry out an operation in Rafah, added the Chinese permanent representative to the UN.

Earlier, Russia's permanent representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzya said that the United States ignored proposals from Russia and other states when working on its draft resolution on the situation in the Gaza Strip, and as a result it turned out to be politicized.
