US Senate leader Schumer says disappointed by China's statement on Hamas attacks

BEIJING (Reuters) - U.S. Senate leader Chuck Schumer said on Monday he was disappointed by China's foreign ministry statement that showed no sympathy or support for Israel during these troubled times, in a meeting with China's top diplomat Wang Yi.

Schumer, who is in Beijing, said "I urge you and the Chinese people to stand with the Israeli people and condemn these cowardly and vicious attacks."
