Aftermath

Following the passing of the resolution, pressures were building on the Israeli government to implement a ceasefire with Hamas in order to allow for a prisoners' exchange, which led to a ceasefire starting on 24 November.[3]

The ceasefire ended on 30 November with the resumption of combat operations in the Gaza Strip.[4][5][6]
