Calls are growing for the UN Security Council to be reformed after the US became the only member to use its veto power to block a Gaza ceasefire resolution, a move welcomed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The UN chief says he will keep pushing for peace.

Or even better, come up with a solution that's more than "unconditional ceasfire right now, you figure out the rest". How is any country supposed to follow that.

Besides, the UN shits on Israel as a pastime, that should be the first thing addressed in a UN reform.

Which is hilarious because this split state was basically created by them. Anyone could see the tensions as a result of it and the only reason that Israel wasn't pushed out on multiple occasions was they won. They exist because they ignored the UN beyond the initial state creation.

To be fair, it's the same countries that ignored the UN's resolution to create the two states and instead went to war against Israel that are also the cause of the constant petty resolutions against Israel. The system was broken from day 1.
