On October 7, a Hamas-led coalition of Palestinian militant groups launched an attack on Israel from the Gaza Strip. In this edition of the ChinaMed Observer, we delve into China’s official response and the perspectives of Chinese experts regarding the war’s potential short- and long-term developments, as well as the factors that contributed to the current state of affairs.
