the resolution passed, sadly we need to see the actual wording, the lack of the word 'permament' is a big boon to the israelis and if the resolution demands the release of the hostages than Hamas lost alot of its cards.

However, the fact that a ceasefire resolution passed with immediate effect, and if the israelis are forced to abide by it (lol) that means the israelis for now have lost the war in the military sense, the real issue is wether they're forced to withdraw or not, or if Hamas is forced to give up their hostages with no real benefit.

Israel will stop working with the U.N. Relief Works Agency in the Gaza Strip, a government spokesperson said on Monday, accusing the aid agency of perpetuating conflict.

"UNRWA are part of the problem, and we will now stop working with them. We are actively phasing out the use of UNRWA because they perpetuate the conflict rather than try and alleviate the conflict," spokesperson David Mencer told reporters.

Return word ‘permanent’ to resolution: Russia’s ambassador to the UN

Vasily Nebenzya says that the word cannot be replaced; otherwise Israel will go back to resuming its onslaught in Gaza.

Russia proposes an amendment to the text, but it is voted down.

Three countries backed it, one voted against and 11 abstained.

Sadly yeah, this is a terrible lovely resolution, releasing the hostages without demanding permanent ceasefire is now just giving cover for Israel to take a breather then resume genocide, china and russia are pieces of poo poo for not vetoing this. Now israel can claim they are acting on behalf of the UN.

this is a really bad resolution so it's no wonder america didnt veto it.

I doubt Israel will be releasing all of their Palestinian prisoners and they're all hostages too, so I don't see why Hamas should do so without Israel doing the same.

Hamas obviously won't (and shouldn't) abide by this, though it still sucks that it was passed. Russia and China vetoed resolutions like this before, so I'm not sure what was different this time.

Nah Russia called it out they couldve vetoed it but didnt.

also, the wording in the resolution itself didnt specify who's hostages where, so Hamas can claim that the Israelis have hostages as well that must be released.

Basically, america bought israel two weeks or so of respite.

The Prime Minister's Office announced, following the passing of the UN resolution calling for a cease-fire, that the U.S. decision not to veto a resolution that supports a cease-fire without the release of the hostages hurts the war effort and contradicts its stance throughout the war.

According to the announcement, "This withdrawal hurts both the war effort and the effort to release the hostages, because it gives Hamas hope that international pressure will allow them to accept a cease-fire without the release of our abductees."

In light of this, the Prime Minister Netanyahu has decided to cancel the delegation to Washington.

1- ceasefire for two weeks with vague steps for permanent ceasefire

2- removal of all obstacles to allow unlimited aid in, effectively lifting the siege of Gaza.

3- asking for all hostages to be released without specifying whos hostages by whom

overall, a neutral resolution, the win for israel is no strong 'permamnet' ceasefire wording, but the palestinians got the win of aid being allowed in with no limits and obstacles, and the lack of specific wording on the hostages gives hamas alot of wiggle room diplomatically to tie their hostage release with the israelis releasing their hostages.

the UN resolution did not actually state whos hostages has to be released by whom, the wording was neutral. this means Hamas has diplomatic wiggle room to negotiate a two-way hostage deal.

Netanyahu cancels Israeli delegation's visit to Washington

The Israeli Prime Minister’s Court said Benjamin Netanyahu canceled an Israeli delegation’s visit to Washington after it abstained from voting on the UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.

For his part, US National Security Council Strategic Communications Coordinator John Kirby said that the US abstention from voting on the Security Council resolution “does not represent a shift in our policy,” explaining, “We did not vote in favor of the resolution and we simply abstain because the final formula does not include enthusiastically condemnation.”

now thinking on it, the neutral wording on the hostage clause is extremely significant and a major loss for israel, hamas can claim many thousands of people are hostages of israel

It seems mostly irrelevant, is there any reason to think that Israel is going to let aid in? Or even to think that they won't just ignore it entirely?

So they didn't remove "permanent" entirely, rather they changed it to the more vague "lasting sustainable". The semantics here are all flexible, hence why the voting results are strange compared to other resolutions. Let's see how it plays out.
