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.

    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.
