Chinese representative: Opposing ceasefire in Gaza is tantamount to giving a green light to continue killing. Draft resolution received 13 votes in favor, 1 vote against and 1 abstention.
The United States voted against and the United Kingdom abstained. Since the United States is a permanent member of the Security Council and has veto power, the draft resolution failed to pass. China urges Israel to listen to the call of the international community, cancel its attack plan on Rafah, and stop collective punishment of the Palestinian people.
