JERUSALEM, Aug. 8 (Xinhua) — Israel's security cabinet has approved a plan to take control of Gaza City, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said on Friday.

Israel intends to take control of all of Gaza to ensure its security and rid the city of Hamas, B. Netanyahu said in an interview with Fox News on Thursday before a meeting of the security cabinet.

"We don't want to keep it [Gaza – Xinhua] for ourselves. We want to have a security perimeter. We want to hand it over to Arab forces that will manage it properly, without threatening us and providing a good life for the locals," he said.

In response, Hamas said it considered Netanyahu's statements "a clear reversal of the course of negotiations, revealing the true motives for his withdrawal from the last round."

At least 9,752 Palestinians have been killed and more than 40,000 wounded since March 18, when Israel resumed intensive strikes on the Gaza Strip, bringing the death toll since October 2023 to 61,258 and the number of injured to 152,045, the enclave's health authorities said Thursday. –0–

UNITED NATIONS, Aug. 7 (Xinhua) — Less than 17 percent of the $46 billion needed to meet global humanitarian needs in 2025 has been received so far, Deputy Spokesman for the UN Secretary-General Farhan Haq said at a daily briefing on Thursday.

“More than half a year has passed, and the situation with funding for humanitarian activities remains deplorable,” said F. Haq, citing data from the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).

According to him, the amount of funding received to date is 40 percent less than for the same period last year.

The funding shortfall is a stark reminder that millions of vulnerable people will go hungry without the assistance they urgently need, the UN official added.

He noted that in June, faced with the largest funding cuts in the history of the international humanitarian system, OCHA launched a global appeal to help 114 million people, focusing on the most urgent needs as part of the broader 2025 Global Humanitarian Overview. –0–

BEIJING, Aug. 8 (Xinhua) — With the Central Asian region's urbanization accelerating, people's demand for convenient and low-carbon travel has increased significantly. In this regard, Chinese-made clean-energy vehicles have become one of the ideal choices for local consumers, the Zhongguo Guomen Shibao newspaper of the General Administration of Customs reported.

Segway Technology Co., Ltd., a personal mobility aids development and manufacturing company based in Changzhou City, East China's Jiangsu Province, is preparing to send a batch of ATVs worth a total of 740,000 yuan (approximately $103,700) to Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan.

According to the results of the first half of 2025, the company's export volume of ATVs, electric scooters, electric bicycles and their spare parts to Central Asian countries reached 8.7 million yuan in value terms.

The company's products are currently sold in more than 100 countries and regions around the world. Company representative Li Mingju noted that the Central Asian region, where the Chinese side first put forward the Belt and Road Initiative, is an important support point in the globalization strategy of their enterprise.

Parked at Zhongtong Bus Holding Co., Ltd., a leading bus manufacturing company based in Liaocheng City, Shandong Province, east China, are a number of passenger buses with the sticker “FERGANA CITY BUS.” They will be delivered to Fergana City, Uzbekistan, via the Khorgos checkpoint in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, northwest China.

The company's foreign marketing director, Tang Xuexia, noted that this batch of gas-powered buses, manufactured to order for Uzbekistan, is equipped with engines independently developed by China. Thanks to low carbon emissions and powerful engines, these vehicles will not only help reduce operating costs, but will also transport passengers safely and comfortably, she noted.

It is worth noting that, under the support of Liaocheng Customs, the company has strengthened the development of buses that meet the greenhouse gas emission regulations of Central Asian countries. To this end, the company has introduced advanced combustion technologies into its engines, improved the intake and exhaust systems, and upgraded the exhaust gas cleaning device.

According to the data, in the first half of this year, the company exported 193 passenger buses to Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and other Central Asian countries, with a total value of over 100 million yuan.

BEIRUT, Aug. 8 (Xinhua) — Six people were killed and 10 others were wounded in two separate Israeli airstrikes in eastern Lebanon on Thursday, Lebanese officials said.

The Lebanese Health Ministry's Emergency Operations Center said in a press release that one Israeli airstrike on Masnaa Road killed five people and wounded 10 others. Another airstrike on the town of Kfardan (Baalbek region) killed another person.

Lebanon's cabinet approved the goals outlined in a U.S. proposal to disarm Hezbollah at a meeting on Thursday, the country's National News Agency reported.

"We agreed to end the armed presence in all areas, including the presence of Hezbollah, and to deploy the Lebanese army in the border areas," Lebanese Information Minister Paul Morkos said after the meeting.

A ceasefire agreement brokered by the United States and France has been in effect between Hezbollah and Israel since November 27, 2024, ending the clashes that erupted after the war in the Gaza Strip began.

Despite the agreement, the Israeli army periodically carries out strikes in Lebanon, claiming that they are aimed at eliminating “threats” posed by Hezbollah. –0–

BEIJING, Aug. 8 (Xinhua) — A total of 515 vehicles carrying wind power equipment destined for export mainly to Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan were inspected at the Horgos Port of Northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region in the first half of 2025, according to statistics, the Zhongguo Guomen Shibao newspaper under the General Administration of Customs reported.

These units will be used in a number of international cooperation energy projects, including a wind power plant in the city of Khromtau /Kazakhstan/.

Situated on the border between China and Kazakhstan, Khorgos checkpoint, thanks to its unique geographical location, serves as an important logistics channel for Chinese wind turbines to enter overseas markets.

To ensure unimpeded transportation of large-sized equipment, such as 80-meter wind turbine blades, customs services in both countries have opened special corridors.

According to a representative of a Xinjiang freight forwarding company, Central Asian countries with rich wind power resources are always a key market for his company. He said that this year, his company has exported wind power equipment in more than 200 vehicles, and the export volume has been steadily growing.

Also recently, Fengcheng Photovoltaic Technology Company, located in Dezhou City, Shandong Province /East China/, a batch of solar modules for the construction of a photovoltaic power plant is ready to be sent to Tajikistan, and it will be delivered to the destination in about 10 days. According to a representative of the company, in the first half of 2025, the company made a huge breakthrough in the Central Asian market, and currently orders are coming in one after another.

Central Asian countries have favorable conditions for the distribution of sunlight, so they still have great potential in the field of photovoltaic industry, he noted.

“Our monocrystalline solar modules are at the top of the segment in terms of technical characteristics and product performance, which is why we are confident in expanding this new and promising market for us,” he is convinced.

According to the data, in the first half of 2025, the volume of photovoltaic products inspected by the customs service in Dezhou for export to five Central Asian countries exceeded 20 million yuan (about 2.8 million US dollars) in value terms, an increase of 13.7 times year-on-year.

Growing exports of Chinese-made energy equipment to Central Asian countries reflects deepening cooperation between China and Central Asia in the field of renewable energy, which contributes to the green transformation in Central Asian countries. -0-

CHENGDU, Aug. 7 (Xinhua) — Chinese State Councilor Shen Yiqin announced the opening of the 12th World Games at a ceremony at the Tianfu International Conference Center in Chengdu, capital of southwest China's Sichuan Province, on Thursday evening.

Under the Tianfu Roof, the largest single wooden structure in Asia, stretching 430 meters, some 10,000 spectators greeted Shen Yiqin with thunderous applause as she officially declared the Games open. Also present at the ceremony were International World Games Association (IWGA) President Jose Perurena and International Olympic Committee (IOC) Executive Committee member Li Lingwei.

The 12th World Games will be held from August 7 to 17 under the theme of “Unlimited Sports, Countless Wonders”. This is the first World Games to be held in mainland China. Chengdu previously successfully hosted the 31st FISU World Summer Universiade in 2023.

A truly historic event was the torch relay of the World Games in Chengdu, which took place on July 26 at the iconic Sanxingdui Ruins Museum, the cultural “heart” of Sichuan Province. The relay involved 120 torchbearers.

The Chengdu World Games are the largest in history, with a record 6,679 athletes and officials from 116 countries and regions taking part. 3,942 athletes will compete in 256 disciplines across 34 sports.

China has sent its largest delegation ever to the Games, 489 people, including 321 athletes. The Chinese team will feature para-athletes for the first time. Chinese athletes will compete in 152 disciplines in 28 sports, debuting in 12 of them, including cheerleading, ultimate frisbee and powerboating.

In her video message, IOC President Kirsty Coventry welcomed the athletes, officials and fans.

“I would like to thank the Chinese organisers for their usual professionalism, hospitality, impeccable organisation and legendary Chinese efficiency,” said Coventry. “I thank the Chinese Olympic Committee, the Chinese sports authorities, local and central government for their continued support, and the people of Chengdu and the volunteers for all their enthusiasm and contributions,” she added.

In his speech, H. Perurena praised Chengdu's efforts, noting that his "dedication to the cause exceeded all expectations."

“Thank you for your vision, your tireless work and your deep belief in the values that the World Games represent. Chengdu, you are not just the host, you are the heart of these Games,” said Perurena.

With the 2025 Chengdu World Games being Perurena's last as IWGA President, he added: "I can't imagine a better farewell than standing here in Chengdu, at the centre of world sport."

Gao Zhidan, Chairman of the Chengdu Organizing Committee and Director of the General Administration of Sports of the People's Republic of China, said that Chengdu aims to host "succinct, safe and wonderful" Games, guided by the principles of openness, inclusiveness and cooperation.

"We hope that hosting the World Games will effectively stimulate the development of public health initiatives, give impetus to the sports industry, accelerate the development of the city, and allow the benefits of sports development to reach a wider mass of people," Gao Zhidan said.

The organizers did not build new facilities. Instead, they used the facilities left over from the Universiade, modernized 18 arenas, and set up 9 temporary sites in parks near lakes. In total, 27 facilities will be used in the competition. –0–

UNITED NATIONS, Aug. 7 (Xinhua) — UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has expressed his firm belief that any trade wars are destructive and should be avoided, Deputy Spokesman for the UN Secretary-General Farhan Haq said on Thursday.

“This is depressing news,” Mr. Haq said at a daily briefing when asked about the introduction of U.S. tariffs that took effect on Aug. 7.

As F. Hack emphasized, the Secretary-General wants to convey to governments of all countries the understanding that during trade wars it is necessary to take measures to protect the poorest and most vulnerable segments of society, who will certainly suffer due to increased prices.

New US tariffs on dozens of trading partners have raised concerns around the world that the updated tariff rates, ranging from 10 percent to 41 percent, will disrupt international trade. –0–
