The UN Human Rights Council recently passed a resolution denouncing the alleged use of starvation as a method of warfare in Gaza and calling for an arms embargo on Israel. While the resolution garnered support from 28 nations, including Brazil, China, and South Africa, India and 12 other countries chose to abstain from the vote. It's important to note that these resolutions, although influential, are not legally binding. Israel has rebuffed the resolution, accusing the Council of bias and highlighting ongoing conflicts with Hamas. The resolution also addresses Israel's use of explosive weapons in populated areas and demands the release of hostages and detainees.
