China calls for full implementation of Gaza ceasefire as Israel looks for delay

China, at United Nations Security Council (UNSC) meeting on Tuesday, called for the full implementation of the ceasefire deal in Gaza and urged Hamas and Israel to move to Phase II of the talks. 

The US's Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff, is likely travelling to the region next week to press for an extension of Phase I, as Israel and the US delay talks on post-war Gaza governance.
