China strongly rejected claims by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Beijing was involved in orchestrating an “information blockade” against "Israel," warning that such remarks could damage China-"Israel" relations.

According to Global Times, the response came after Netanyahu accused several countries, including China, of trying to restrict the flow of information and shape international opinion against "Israel."

The Chinese embassy in "Israel" released a strongly worded statement describing Netanyahu’s accusations as “completely false and damaging to China–Israel relations.” The embassy said Beijing was “shocked and deeply concerned” and “strongly opposes these statements.”

It stressed that there is no basis for blaming China for online criticism of "Israel," emphasizing instead that the international community is united in demanding an immediate Gaza ceasefire, both to end the violence and to secure the release of captives.

Call for ceasefire and political wisdom

The embassy urged "Israel" to demonstrate political wisdom and diplomatic creativity rather than relying solely on military action and continuous bombardment. It called for a comprehensive ceasefire to prevent further deterioration of the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip.

Earlier this week, Netanyahu claimed that certain countries were attempting to control information, spread narratives contrary to "Israel’s" stance, and pressure Tel Aviv to halt military operations in Gaza. He cited social media platforms and media reports as part of this alleged “information blockade.”

Separately, China has advocated for the implementation of a Gaza ceasefire, and blasted Israeli military policies on the world stage.

In late August, China's Deputy Permanent Representative Geng Shuang said during a UN Security Council debate, "Israel is still moving forward with its military plan to take over Gaza. The plan, once implemented, will inevitably lead to more bloodshed and displacement, adding to the danger and insecurity both of Gazans and detained hostages are facing."

He later added that Beijing "totally opposes and condemns any actions that could harm civilians, destroy infrastructure, and violate international law," demanding Tel Aviv to heed international calls to stop its offensive. "We urge Israel to heed the strong calls from the international community, immediately cease its military operations in Gaza, and immediately halt any dangerous moves that escalate tensions," Geng continued.
