China’s UN envoy says no ceasefire, only ‘lesser fire’ in Lebanon
China’s envoy to the United Nations has told reporters that there is no real ceasefire in place between Israel and Lebanon, only a “lesser fire”.

“It is incumbent on Israel to stop this bombardment of Lebanon,” Fu Cong told reporters at the UN’s headquarters in New York on Friday, as China assumed the rotating presidency of the UN Security Council for May.

The number of people killed in Israeli attacks on southern Lebanon has again increased, with at least 44 people killed in the last two days alone, according to Lebanon’s National News Agency.

The death toll from Israeli attacks since the start of the renewed war on March 2 has now risen to at least 2,618 people, Lebanon’s Health Ministry said on Friday.

US State Department announces new sanctions on ‘Iran-China oil trade’
In a statement, the US Department of State said that the sanctions applied to “several entities, an individual, and a vessel involved in the trade of Iranian petroleum, petroleum products, and petrochemical products”.

The sanctions targeted Qingdao Haiye Oil Terminal Co, Ltd, a China-based petroleum terminal operator that the State Department said “has imported tens of millions of barrels” of crude oil under unilateral US sanctions.

“Haiye has enabled the flow of billions of dollars to Tehran that has relied on sophisticated evasion schemes, accepting cargo from vessels conducting illicit ship-to-ship transfers with sanctioned vessels,” the State Department said.

The spokesperson for the Chinese embassy in Washington, Liu Pengyu, told the South China Morning Post on Friday that Beijing opposed “unilateral sanctions and long-arm jurisdiction that have no basis in international law”.

The sanctions on Iran’s oil were applied by the US under Trump’s first administration.

Historically, only sanctions imposed by the UN Security Council were considered binding on other UN member states under international law.

The US has also imposed sanctions on Chinese oil refineries and a number of Hong Kong shipping companies it says are trading Iranian oil.
