American news network NBC reported Thursday that a Chinese Defense Ministry spokesperson denied China has exported arms to Hamas in Gaza following reports that some Chinese-manufactured weapons have been used in the Strip.
“Since the beginning of the Israel-Palestine conflicts, China has provided food, healthcare and other first aid, but never sent any weapons to Gaza. We strictly abide by three principles, including contributing to the legitimate self-defense capability of the recipient country, not jeopardizing the peace, safety and stability of the region and not interfering in the internal affairs of other countries,” the statement read.
