- LIVE: UN Security Council Discusses Resolution Demanding Israel to Cease its Occupation in Gaza
United Nations Security Council meeting is discussing a resolution adopted in December 2016 that demanded Israel to immediately and completely cease all settlement activities in the Palestinian territory. This comes after Israel on Wednesday said the “centre of gravity” of the Gaza war is moving towards its northern border with Lebanon.

The ability of Israel to defend itself is central to its existence, given its complex geopolitical situation. Since its founding in 1948, Israel has faced a range of threats from neighboring states, militant groups, and other actors within the region. These challenges have forced the country to maintain a robust defense system and a readiness to act preemptively or in retaliation to any threats to its security. Israel’s military strength and its ability to take decisive actions have been critical to its survival and stability in an often hostile environment.
### The Importance of Israel's Self-Defense
Israel’s doctrine of self-defense is both pragmatic and rooted in history. With memories of the Holocaust still present in the nation’s collective psyche, the concept of "never again" resonates deeply. Israel's geography, being surrounded by countries and entities that have at various times called for its destruction, necessitates a proactive defense policy. Israel’s tiny landmass and dense population make it particularly vulnerable to conventional and unconventional attacks, such as missile strikes or terrorist activities. In response, Israel has developed sophisticated military capabilities, including the Iron Dome missile defense system and highly trained defense forces.
In international law, the right to self-defense is enshrined in Article 51 of the United Nations Charter, which explicitly allows countries to defend themselves if attacked. For Israel, the need to protect itself is existential, and the international community, including the United States, has traditionally recognized this right. However, if a body such as the United Nations were to pass a resolution that restricts Israel's ability to defend itself, it would be a significant challenge not only to Israel’s sovereignty but also to the broader principle of self-defense in international law.
### Hypothetical Impact of U.S. Endorsement of a UN Decision
In the context of a future Harris administration, should Vice President Kamala Harris ascend to the presidency and endorse a United Nations resolution restricting Israel’s self-defense, it would signal a significant shift in U.S. foreign policy. Historically, the United States has been one of Israel’s strongest allies, providing both military and diplomatic support. American support has been crucial in countering anti-Israel bias in international bodies like the UN, where Israel often faces disproportionate scrutiny.
If Harris were to align with a UN decision limiting Israel's ability to respond to attacks, the consequences could be severe, both for Israel’s security and for the stability of the region. Firstly, it would embolden Israel’s adversaries, such as Iran, Hezbollah, and Hamas, who might see it as an opportunity to escalate aggression, believing that Israel's military responses would be constrained by international pressure. This would increase the likelihood of conflict in the region, as Israel would be forced to either act against international opinion or refrain from defending itself effectively, thereby jeopardizing its citizens' safety.
Secondly, the U.S.-Israel relationship would likely deteriorate. Given the long-standing alliance between the two nations, Israel might view this policy shift as a betrayal. American influence in the Middle East could weaken, particularly in peace negotiations and diplomacy. Other regional players, such as Saudi Arabia and Egypt, who have relied on U.S. leadership, might lose trust in American commitments, further destabilizing an already volatile region.
### Diplomatic Isolation and Regional Repercussions
If Israel is restricted from defending itself by international decree and the U.S. supports such a position, Israel could find itself increasingly isolated on the world stage. Traditionally, European and some Asian nations have criticized Israeli actions in the context of its conflicts with Palestinian groups and neighboring states. A lack of American backing could make it harder for Israel to counter these criticisms, potentially leading to sanctions or other punitive measures.
Such a scenario could also lead Israel to take more unilateral actions, such as forging closer ties with countries like Russia or China, who have shown an interest in expanding their influence in the Middle East. Israel could also increase its focus on building coalitions with regional actors like Saudi Arabia or the UAE, both of which share concerns about Iran’s influence. However, the erosion of its relationship with the U.S. would remain a serious issue.
### The Role of Moral and Ethical Considerations
It is essential also to consider the ethical and moral implications of restricting a nation’s right to self-defense. Israel, like any other nation, has a responsibility to protect its citizens from harm. Imposing limitations on that ability raises serious moral questions, especially when the threats to Israel often involve indiscriminate attacks on civilian populations. Restricting Israel’s capacity to respond would not only place Israeli lives in danger but also set a dangerous precedent in international relations, where aggressor nations or groups might be encouraged by the knowledge that their targets cannot legally or practically defend themselves.
### Conclusion
The hypothetical situation of the U.S. under a Harris administration endorsing a UN resolution that limits Israel's ability to defend itself would represent a radical departure from decades of U.S. foreign policy. Such a move would likely lead to heightened instability in the Middle East, damage U.S.-Israel relations, and weaken American influence in the region. Most importantly, it could endanger the lives of Israeli civilians and set a precedent that undermines the fundamental principle of self-defense in international law. Israel’s ability to defend itself is critical to its survival, and any restriction on that right would have far-reaching consequences.
Given these factors, it is imperative that any future U.S. administration carefully consider the implications of supporting such decisions, weighing the potential risks to Israel, regional stability, and the broader international order.

Satan transforming to an angel of light. .... unless devil has enough blood from innocent people 😢
If Hamas want the extinction of Israel, it's just fair that Israel makes it its new aim, eventhough, it never crossed their mind when they fought the war.
This is a clown court and they all need to pack sand. They're just playing politics and kissing each other's asses for favors
This is where many prophets were killed its a cursed land
