The latest United Nations Security Council resolution on Gaza proposes a ceasefire and outlines a path toward resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but it is criticized for its vagueness and lack of concrete commitments. While mediators have succeeded in brokering a truce, ongoing violence and the absence of clear objectives or deadlines raise doubts about the international community's resolve. The resolution does not guarantee a two-state solution, omits references to key past resolutions, and fails to address the expansion of settlements, leaving its effectiveness in question. Concerns also persist about the lack of agency for Palestinians and the risks associated with establishing an international stabilization force, as well as the resolution's silence on the West Bank. Despite these shortcomings, some see a shift in international attitudes as a positive sign, but stress the need for a clear and actionable plan toward Palestinian statehood.
