That said, a UN resolution is meaningless in a practical sense.

Israeli is free to ignore it.

The UN is a joke and should probably be dissolved, if Russia can sit as a permanent member of the security council, whilst destabilising security in Europe and the wider world. Why would you take any notice of the UN?
Likewise America has been in one war or another since its inception destabilising Governments in countries on almost every continent (including democratically elected ones in Europe).

I agree it’s of limited meaning or value, but it shows that the Israeli position is increasing isolated on the world stage, and in all probability reduces the time that the United States are likely to continue to permit their ongoing military crusade in the absence of any clear, achievable and defined goals.

The message is out there to all the emerging economies of the Middle East, North Africa and the global south. China and Russia will be rubbing their hands at the soft power opportunities going forward.
