'Our interpretation of UNSC resolution on Gaza cease-fire 'non-binding': US State Dept
During a press briefing, journalist challenged US State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller regarding the characterization of the UNSC Ceasefire Resolution as 'non-binding.' 'We didn't veto because we thought the language, as it relates to the cease-fire, and the release of hostages, was consistent with the long-standing United States position,' Miller added. According to the UN Charter, all Security Council resolutions are legally binding under international law. Israel is in compliance with the Biden administration’s national security memorandum, which says any country receiving weapons from the US must provide 'credible and reliable' assurances that they’re following humanitarian law.

People in the west don’t have any idea how much evil Muslims embrace in the name of religion.. Jews and Hindus who have suffered the most know it very well.. because 60-70 million Jews died in last 2000 years both in hands of Christians during crusades + Islamic invasions, Assyrians and Nazis, 500 million Hindus died in last 1400 years mainly because of Islam.. 71% of Gaza population believes Oct 7 attack was justified in a recent vote.. pls listen to Israel envoy to UN speech Hamas has not arrived from Mars in thousands .. nor nature creates serial killer like psychopaths at scale.. they are indoctrinated like Nazis, like ISIS and like Hamas .. using the same tool the rest of Gazans read, or the entire Islamic world.. There is no evidence so far that suggests Israel is targeting civilians on purpose.. If the west today goes against Israel, tomorrow it will pay a huge price like Europe is paying now.. Like US paid in 9/11 .. No one went against US when it responded to 9/11 and they responded in a much greater way than Israel did after Oct 7..

Abstaining is the cowards way out no matter who does it.
With other words: its nice to have the UN for the formality and we decide whether we act upon it based on our interests. This confirms my conviction that the UN is an organization invented to legalize the criminal actions of US and its allies and it has zero power against the big economies. Poor countries have to follow each letter of the resolutions otherwise US and UK, etc. wil come in military action.

You need to replace your legal team if you believe the resolution is "non binding".All United Nationd resolutions are international law and therefore binding.
So essentially, do what the USA wants or you don’t do anything at all. The mentality of a bully.
This will be a precedence. Future parties may consider any UN decision can be non binding as well.
Does the US not realize how ludicrous this is ? Where was Miller when the villain was Sadam Hussein ?

In many occasions the US consider UNSC resolutions binding only if they are in favor of the US or their allies, other resolutions like the UNSC Resolution like the 242 and 338 were never considered as binding nor for Israel or the US. So why would you expect the US to change it's mind?
this is insane the US state department has ruled that this is a NON-binding resolution and so . . . no ceasefire

Ceasefire is a military term regarding two armies. This is a cease slaughter we want. The Nazis believed Jews were a threat to The Reich and they too had the right to self defence.
The release of hostages on both sides?
Another video shows how the Gaza genocide has allowed the world to see Israel for what is really is and in same way this video shows the US for the utter moral vacuum that it is and the simple spewing of words like "democracy" and "freedom" is exposed as hypocritical cant.
Security Council Resolutions are binding according to International Law and that is why the veto exists. General Assembly Resolutions are on the whole and with few exceptions non biding.

If this is the case , then the UN no 181 resolution that created Israel in 48 would also be non binding. Now you know why the Arabs and the Palestinians did not agree to the UN creation of Israel in 1948. The UN, and Israel are a creation of Colonialist powers.

UN should invoke article VII immediate in GAZA! Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter sets out the UN Security Council's powers to maintain peace. It allows the Council to "determine the existence of any threat to the peace, breach of the peace, or act of aggression" and to take military and nonmilitary action to "restore international peace and security".
