Analysts: The Security Council’s decision to stop the war reflects an American shift, but it will not be implemented. Experts say that allowing the United States of America to pass a resolution in the UN Security Council requiring a halt to the fighting in the Gaza Strip represents an important step towards transforming Washington's position on the Israeli war.

U.S. officials confirmed that it “does not mean a shift in its policy.” A small and important step, but at the same time it can be built upon, experts say.
