USA: Resolution is not binding “It is a non-binding resolution that has no impact on Israel and its ability to continue to act against Hamas,” said US National Security Council communications director John Kirby.

Hamas, in turn, makes any further release of hostages dependent on an Israeli commitment to ending the war.
