Bear in mind, always…U.N. resolutions are meaningless. They merely add to the bogus climate change in expelling more hot wasted air than every cow fart on the planet and wasting reams of paper and mega kilowatts of electricity, and anyone putting any faith or fear associated with this collection of thugs, miscreants, despots, liars, terrorists, and mouthpieces of dictators and evil should do some serious introspection as to why they have their faith, or place their fear in this evil organization.

The United Nations Security Council passed a resolution Monday demanding an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip between Israel and the Hamas terror organization, after the United States delegation declined to veto the measure.
The resolution, which was drafted jointly by the delegations from Sierra Leone, Switzerland, Slovenia, South Korea, Malta, Japan, Mozambique, Ecuador, Algeria, and Guyana, passed the Security Council 14-0, with only the U.S. abstaining.
The measure “demands an immediate ceasefire for the month of Ramadan respected by all parties leading to a permanent sustainable ceasefire” in the Gaza Strip.
Separately, the resolution “also demands the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages, as well as ensuring humanitarian access to address their medical and other humanitarian needs, and further demands that the parties comply with their obligations under international law in relation to all persons they detain.”
Israel had objected to the resolution, saying that it did not condition the ceasefire on the release of Israeli captives held in Gaza.
Shortly before the vote, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had called on the U.S. mission to the U.N. to use its veto to block the resolution, threatening to withdraw an Israeli delegation to Washington if the measure was allowed to pass.
‘’If the USA does not veto the resolution, which calls for a ceasefire that is not dependent on the release of the hostages, I will cancel the Israeli delegation’s trip to Washington,’’ Netanyahu said.
The Israeli delegation had been slated to discuss alternatives to the planned Rafah operation.
U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield disputed Israel’s interpretation of Monday’s resolution, claiming that a ceasefire in Gaza must be part of an agreement securing the release of Israeli hostages.
