He also called on Israel to take immediate steps “to address civilian harm, humanitarian suffering, and the safety of aid workers” and “made clear that U.S. policy with respect to Gaza will be determined by our assessment of Israel’s immediate action on these steps,” according to the White House statement.

      Haven’t you heard? He threatened them with even harsher threats if they don’t comply this time.

            I hear tabloids might be able to use “stern” if they don’t stop immediately.

            They added it to the meeting notes right after selling the jets.

          There was some serious finger wagging this time around and the finger will be wagged in an even more serious manner if they don’t comply.

      No, that particular resolution was for a ceasefire during Ramadan, which is now over. Of course, there other UN resolutions it is violating, and it had violated that one, but to be fair it isn’t currently violating it.

            I thought Biden just had a bunch of people over at the whitehouse for Eid, and some of them stormed out in protest. I thought Eid was the end of Ramadan?

            Edit: Here it is. Ah, I thought the iftar meal was the one on Eid, not just a normal sun-down meal.

        All UNSC resolutions are binding.

        Though israel has ignored like 160 other UN resolutions (not all security council) so international law doesn’t mean much since nobody enforces it.
