TL DR For the first time the UN security council has voted for a call for a ceasefire in Gaza, after the US abstained, rather than using its veto as it has done on previous occasions. Russia and China have also previously vetoed texts.

It is supposed to be only during Ramadan and nothing afterwards. Russia tried to get the word ‘permanent’ in the deal, but that didn’t pass.
As for what would stop Israel for continuing: nothing really.
I saw a line in the CNN article shared by Yogthos that CNN has since deleted that said the UN’s enforcement mechanisms are “limited”.
Most realistic options seems to be something like sanctions. I doubt military intervention would occur were Israël to breach the ceasefire deal. I also have no idea of they are supposed to agree to it or not.
Yeah, sanctions seems like the most probable outcome. I can’t see any military intervention happening.
I don’t even see sanctions happening, other than maybe a few perfunctory token ones, but even there i am skeptical.
You’re probably right, I definitely can’t see US putting any sanctions on Israel, and Europe might do some token ones. China, Russia, and the Global South might be a different question though.
Have ye got it saved in archive.org or somethin’ ?
Sadly no. I just saw they have it archived, but after the change was made.
