i've been banned from this thread before for saying this situation is hopeless and i still feel the same way

however it does seem now like the net is closing in now and that soon enough, european countries won't have a choice but to put embargos and sanctions on israel. and soon enough it will just be genocide joe and bibi doing their genocide on their own, showing their true colors to the rest of the world.

it took less than 2 weeks for even switzerland to put sanctions on russian oligarchs after the war in ukraine started. it's been 5 months and not a single resolution has been passed. my politicians are loving cowards and i will never forget who was in power during these times. gently caress them, gently caress them all

Hamas put out a statement, they welcome the resolution and have immediately jumped on the neutral wording of the 'hostage release' clause

=================================


Urgent | Hamas: We welcome the UN Security Council’s call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza

Urgent | Hamas: We stress the necessity of reaching a permanent ceasefire that leads to the withdrawal of all Zionist forces and the return of the displaced

Urgent | Hamas: We affirm our readiness to engage in an immediate prisoner exchange process that leads to the release of prisoners on both sides

Urgent | Hamas: We emphasize the importance of freedom of movement of citizens and access to all humanitarian needs of residents in all areas of the Gaza Strip

Urgent | Hamas: We call on the Security Council to pressure the occupation to adhere to the ceasefire and stop the war of genocide and ethnic cleansing against our people.

Urgent | Hamas: We appreciate the efforts of the brothers in #الجزائر and the countries in the Security Council that are working to stop the Zionist aggression and war of annihilation.

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.

Recalling all of its relevant resolutions on the situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian question,

Reiterating its demand that all parties comply with their obligations under international law, including international humanitarian law and international human rights law, and in this regard deploring all attacks against civilians and civilian objects, as well as all violence and hostilities against civilians, and all acts of terrorism, and recalling that the taking of hostages is prohibited under international law;

Expressing deep concern about the catastrophic humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip,

Acknowledging the ongoing diplomatic efforts by Egypt, Qatar and the United States, aimed at reaching a cessation of hostilities, releasing the hostages and increasing the provision and distribution of humanitarian aid,

1. Demands an immediate ceasefire for the month of Ramadan respected by all parties leading to a lasting sustainable ceasefire, and also demands the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages, as well as 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;

2. Emphasizes the urgent need to expand the flow of humanitarian assistance to and reinforce the protection of civilians in the entire Gaza Strip and reiterates its demand for the lifting of all barriers to the provision of humanitarian assistance at scale, in line with international humanitarian law as well as resolutions 2712 (2023) and 2720 (2023);

3. Decides to remain actively seized of the matter.

Netanyahu seems to have spread straight up disinformation about how the resolution doesn't demand the release of hostages and some Israeli outlets reported it like that, for example this:

"The US didn't veto: a UN resolution has been passed calling for an immediate ceasefire without the condition to release hostages, Netanyahu promised - the Israeli delegation to Washington will be canceled"

a) AOC saying g-word

c) that white house statement I think it was saying Israel does not realize how close it is to completely losing the whole world
d) the US abstaining here i guess, considering israel is tantrumming about it

of course this is simultaneous to what is, to me, a fairly clear israeli decision that nothing whatsoever is out of bounds in northern gaza and any palestinian who remains there can be raped/executed/etc without limit. Disgusting, appaling, sickening, etc

hard to read it as anything other than a belief on his end that israel's current position as the tail that wags the american dog is natural law, as opposed to a result of the fact that our political establishment and particularly our thin-skinned, sundowning u.s. president have always loved israel and its apartheid regime because it serves their ends and values. reads as an effort to publicly embarrass and rewrite reality to make Biden acquiesce, which will surely work on a famously pugnacious man prone to taking offense

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.”

The resolution does not name a single party (i.e. Hamas) in the order to release hostages. That is what Israel is looking for. The order is neutral, meaning Israel would have to release their prisoners/hostages in exchange.

When Netanyahu says "hostages" he only means Israeli ones. He doesn't regard Palestinians as hostages because he would have to regard them as human first. But the resolution had to specify only Israeli hostages for him to take it to his cabinet so he's fuming as this will undermine him whatever he does.
