As is too often the case, Israel has wiggled its genocidal way through a loophole.

There’s no ceasefire, imo. The US cried uncle. Hopefully this leads to the US pulling out of this conflict and to attention shifting to the genocidal actions of Israel and the US in Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon.

The disintegration of the ceasefire reveals the contradiction in China’s foreign policy, between its goals of peaceful economic development and its opposition to U.S. hegemonism. China urged Iran to accept a ceasefire to open the Strait of Hormuz, benefitting China, the developing world, and the global economy. Iran had attempted to defend its sovereignty peacefully for 30 years, with measured responses to numerous assaults from U.S. imperialism/Zionist colonialism. The war made Iran’s sovereignty dependent on driving the U.S. military out of the region, and ending Israel’s capacity for military aggression, with control of the Strait its major weapon.

Under Mao, China supported both wars of national liberation like Vietnam’s, and the nationalist Non-aligned Movement of developing nations. In the 1980s, Deng Xiao-ping advocated keeping a low profile, so when NATO intervention overthrew Khadaffi in Libya, China simply walked away from its oil investments. U.S. imperialism, rather than accept its decline, could drive the world to financial collapse, mass hunger, mass migrations, civil unrest, environmental crisis, and possibly world war. China may need a more activist foreign policy.

I agree, but I think the current principle in foreign policies might change after Taiwan.

I guess we will see how this 'cease fire' goes, keeping in mind that israel never met a cease fire it wouldn't break

So, has Israel not agreed to the cease fire, then?

They will continue their military actions towards Lebanon.
