JERUSALEM, July 29 (Xinhua) — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to present a plan to annex part of the Gaza Strip to the country's security cabinet, the Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported on Monday evening.

According to her, B. Netanyahu told the ministers that Israel gave Hamas several days to agree on a ceasefire. If it refuses the agreement, Israel will begin to gradually annex parts of the Gaza Strip until the Palestinian movement surrenders, the prime minister added.

The article notes that B. Netanyahu has chosen this course of action in order to secure the support of the far-right Religious Zionism party, which opposes both the ceasefire and increased humanitarian aid to Gaza. Keeping this party in the coalition is crucial to preventing the collapse of the current government.

According to media reports, Religious Zionism leader and cabinet member Bezalel Smotrich told his associates that the party is pushing a “good strategic move” and it will soon become clear whether it will be successful.

Haaretz writes that during his conversations with ministers, B. Netanyahu stated that his plan was approved by the administration of US President Donald Trump.

Also on Monday, the Prime Minister's Office said Israel would continue to work with international organizations, as well as the United States and European countries, to ensure that large amounts of humanitarian aid reach the Gaza Strip. "While the situation in Gaza remains difficult and Israel works to ensure that aid reaches the Strip, Hamas is benefiting from attempts to create the impression of a humanitarian crisis," the office said. -0-

Tbilisi, July 29 (Xinhua) — The Chinese Embassy in Georgia held a reception in Tbilisi to mark the 98th anniversary of the founding of the People's Liberation Army (PLA).

The event was attended by employees of the Georgian Ministry of Defense, high-ranking government officials, members of parliament, foreign ambassadors, military attachés, as well as representatives of the media, Chinese and Georgian companies and public circles.

The ceremonial part began with the performance of the national anthems of China and Georgia. The first vice-speaker of the Georgian Parliament, Gia Volski, delivered a congratulatory message on behalf of the country's legislative body. He noted that China was one of the first countries to recognize Georgia's independence, stressed the importance of China's support for Georgia's sovereignty and territorial integrity within its internationally recognized borders, and reaffirmed Georgia's unwavering commitment to the one-China principle.

G. Volsky also emphasized the strategic importance of Georgia as a bridge between Europe and Asia and noted the country's role in the Belt and Road initiative, especially within the framework of the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route.

He recalled the results achieved in bilateral cooperation, including the free trade agreement of 2018, the establishment of a strategic partnership in 2023 and the introduction of a visa-free regime from 2024. According to him, in 2024, trade turnover between Georgia and China exceeded $1.9 billion. The Vice Speaker expressed confidence in the further strengthening of the Georgian-Chinese partnership and thanked the Ambassador of the People's Republic of China to Georgia Zhou Qian for his contribution to the development of bilateral relations.

In his speech, Zhou Qian noted that the PLA, created and led by the Communist Party of China, has grown from nothing to become strong in its 98-year history. The army has made invaluable contributions to the liberation of the Chinese people, the construction of a socialist country, the protection of national sovereignty and security, and the maintenance of peace and stability throughout the world, he added.

The ambassador stressed that China deeply appreciates the contribution of the Georgian people to the victory in the world anti-fascist war. According to the diplomat, China and Georgia are countries with an ancient civilization and a rich historical heritage. China has always supported Georgia in protecting its sovereignty and territorial integrity, as well as in striving for sustainable development in accordance with national conditions, Zhou Qian said.

The Ambassador emphasized that China, as one of the first countries to sign the UN Charter and a permanent member of the Security Council, is ready to continue to actively cooperate with all countries of the world, including Georgia. He expressed readiness to jointly promote the correct view of history, defend the results of the victory in World War II and support the international system, the core of which is the UN. –0–
