The UN Security Council has finally spoken: a resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza during Ramadan and the release of all hostages passed this week. But the real drama came from Washington. The U.S., abstaining rather than vetoing, dismissed the measure as "unbinding," sparking debate over whether this undermines both the resolution and the UN itself. 🤯
This marks the Council's first unified call for peace since Hamas's October 7 attack. But will words translate to action? Experts are split. Rick Dunham of Tsinghua University called the U.S. stance a "diplomatic loophole," while security analyst Dr. Gal Luft warned it sets a risky precedent for future conflicts. Wang Jin of Northwest University of China stressed the resolution's symbolic weight, even if enforcement remains murky. 💡
Key question: Can global pressure override geopolitical games? With Ramadan ending soon, time is ticking ⏳—and the world is watching.
