comprehensive, just and lastingpeace in the Middle East."Further, the resolution calls onIsrael, as a signatory, to abide bythe 1949 Fourth GenevaConvention, which deems bothIsraeli settlements and theapartheid wall illegal.

blocked these resolutions. Had there been no veto process in the SC facilitating Israel

with immunity, there would be another 45 binding UN SC resolutions condemning Israel.
