🇨🇳❌🇺🇸🦠 NEW: China has pushed back against renewed U.S. claims that COVID-19 originated from a Wuhan lab, accusing Washington of politicizing the issue and deflecting blame.

➡️ A document issued by the CCP alleges the virus may have emerged in the U.S. earlier than officially reported and urges the U.S. to reflect on its pandemic response.

➡️ This follows updates to the U.S. COVID.gov website, which now supports the Wuhan lab-leak theory, citing biological evidence and Wuhan’s role in SARS research. It also discusses Dr. Fauci’s stance and pandemic measures.

➡️ The CIA under the Trump administration recently concluded a lab leak was the most likely origin—once dismissed as conspiracy.

➡️ In response, China reiterated WHO findings supporting natural transmission and criticized the U.S. handling of the pandemic as "the worst of all countries.” The origins debate remains unresolved globally as the WHO never issued a new conclusive statement reconciling these divergent claims.

➡️He said: "I advise the Druze: Don't mess with us. After the Battle of Ramat Yohanan, you formed an alliance with us, and you know why. Don't exaggerate."

📝The Battle of Ramat Yohanan took place in April 1948 during the Nakba (catastrophe) War, and was fought between the Zionist Haganah and Druze fighters. During the clashes, secret contacts took place between Haganah leaders and Druze sheikhs, and an undeclared agreement was reached stipulating that the Druze would withdraw from the fighting and betray the Arabs, in exchange for guarantees that their villages and interests would not be harmed. This move marked a turning point in the relationship between Israel and the Druze, who later became known as "loyal allies."
