Israel complying with UN resolutions calling for an end to occupations and settlements

Sorry, but that as a unilateral demand is complete nonsense. It only makes sense together with what the very same UNSC resolution(s) demand, namely the recognition of Israel and its borders and the state as such by all Arab countries and populations that have been involved in the many wars (of independence and later ones) with Israel.

That is the difficult part which has been rejected so often (by Arab governments, for instance, in 1967/68), which is forgetten so easily by those who remember the first part of the resolution without any difficulties, and which is not even acceptable among all Mudcatters if one remembers past discussions. Who only mentions this part of the relevant resolution is either dangerously one-sided and arguably full of ill intentions or blessed with selective amnesia.
