This is the best summary I could come up with:


There's no tiny street in East Turkistan (Xinjiang's name before the 1949 Chinese invasion) where you can even speak or throw a rock," said Rahima Mahmut, the U.K. director for the World Uyghur Congress, told Newsweek.

"China has destroyed the very essence of Uyghurs' lives and identity, not just their homes," Salih Hudayar, prime minister of the East Turkestan Government in Exile, told Newsweek.

"The top priority is to bring about a cease-fire and end the war as soon as possible to avoid the conflict from expanding or even getting out of control and causing a serious humanitarian crisis," said Chinese leader Xi Jinping during a meeting with Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly.

However, the current conflict has provided Beijing with a strategic opportunity to seek the support of Arab states while attempting to sideline the issue of Uyghur mass detentions in Xinjiang.

The Chinese embassy in Paris posted a cartoon showing Uncle Sam holding up a sign with the message "I Veto" while a group gathered at the United Nations looks at fire raging in Gaza.

"Every country has the right to self-defense but should abide by international humanitarian law and protect civilians," Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi told Israeli counterpart Eli Cohen in a telephone call Monday.
