“Does the statement by Permanent Representative Thomas-Greenfield and other officials mean that the United States does not consider UN Security Council resolutions binding on member states,” Nebenzya noted, as quoted by RIA Novosti.

Earlier, Deputy Spokesperson of the UN Secretary General Farhan Haq said that the UN Security Council resolution adopted on March 25 demanding an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip for the month of Ramadan is mandatory.

According to State Department spokesman Matthew Miller, Washington believes that the UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip for the month of Ramadan is not binding.
