    As I understand it, it’s not even a real permanent ceasefire. It’s just for Ramadan, i.e. about two weeks. That being said if even such a middling resolution drives the US and Israel further apart maybe it’s more useful in practice than it is on paper.

      And it includes a provision demanding Hamas release the hostages. The resolution is pretty good for Israel in general. Netanyahu’s problem is that he doesn’t want to recognize the UN’s authority or the legitimacy of international law in general.
