China, positioning itself as a peace broker in the Israel-Gaza conflict, has refrained from condemning Hamas, the group responsible for sparking the crisis. While China has called for restraint and a ceasefire, it has not explicitly named Hamas for its initial rocket attacks or the subsequent Israeli airstrikes. Anti-Israel sentiment is prevalent among Chinese netizens, with pro-Palestinian views dominating social media discussions.
