Security Council passes resolution demanding 'an immediate ceasefire' during Ramadan!

UN Security Council resolution calling for Gaza cease-fire passes for the first time since the war broke out after the U.S. abstains from using its veto power, despite Netanyahu threatening to cancel Washington delegation on Rafah

The resolution in question "demands an immediate cease-fire for the month of Ramadan respected by all parties leading to a sustainable lasting ceasefire, and also demands the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages," having the two matters run in parallel but not conditional upon the other.

The resolution also called for "ensuring humanitarian access to address their medical and other humanitarian needs, and further demands that the parties comply with their obligations under international law in relation to all persons they detain."

1. I wonder if the US continue to send weapons when Israel does not comply with the resolution.

2. Probably.

3. I wonder if anyone will condemn Hamas when they do not comply with releasing the hostages.

Actually- no I don't. That part has already been forgotten.

4. The US isn't sending them weapons.

5. Does that exempt them

From having to follow UN resolutions?

6. What's sad is that there are only a couple of weeks left of Ramadan.
