This is the best summary I could come up with:
UNITED NATIONS – The U.N. Security Council held an emergency closed meeting on the escalating civilian death toll in Gaza and Israel’s plans to move its offensive to Rafah where some 1.5 million Palestinians have fled hoping to find safety.
Ambassador Zhang Jun told The Associated Press after Monday’s late meeting that there was “a loud cry” among council members about the need for urgent action – to deal with the “unfolding humanitarian catastrophe,” Israel’s announced intentions in Gaza, and further spillover of the war.
Dujarric said the vast majority of Palestinians in the south can’t be sent back to northern and central areas littered with unexploded ordnance and destroyed housing, and where the humanitarian situation is exceedingly challenging with very few supplies of food and other necessities.
The U.N. human rights chief says a potential full-fledged Israeli military incursion into Gaza is “terrifying” because some 1.5 million Palestinians have nowhere else to flee and “an extremely high number” of civilians are likely to be killed and injured.
“Beyond the pain and suffering of the bombs and bullets, this incursion into Rafah may also mean the end of the meager humanitarian aid that has been entering and distributed with huge implications for all of Gaza,” he said, “including the hundreds of thousands at grave risk of starvation and famine in the north.”
Türk urged the world not to allow this to happen, reiterating U.N. calls for an immediate ceasefire, the release of all hostages taken during Hamas’ attacks in southern Israel on Oct. 7, and “renewed collective resolve to reach a political solution.”

“Pretty please? Whenever is convenient for you. And try not to hurt anyone while you’re waving your guns around. You could put someone’s eye out with that thing, seriously.”
why would Israel care about what China wants?
looks like China has vastly more to lose.
How to say you don’t have a clue regarding the size of China’s economy without saying you don’t have a clue regarding the size of China’s economy. 🤣
did you not even look at the trade deficit numbers in the link you posted?
Yeah, and the amount of trade is negligible from China’s perspective which means that if China stopped trade with Israel it would barely notice it. Meanwhile, the same cannot be said for Israel.
