The Security Council adopted a ceasefire resolution in the Gaza Strip. The United States refrained from using its veto power for the first time since the start of the Israeli aggression.
Experts argue that although the Security Council resolution does not contain enforcement measures, it is binding in the sense that non-compliance with it violates Article 25 of the UN Charter. The importance of Resolution No. 2728 stems from its indirect political messages and the desire of the administration of US President Joe Biden to bring his dispute with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the public.
