So... Israel is now slagging off The UN, possibly believing their own propoganda. Both sets of militants have agreed a humanitarian truce for a short while.

Notice it is humanitarian.

It isn't about the issue. The issue is about the blockade. Egypt will not lift theirs unless and until Israel do because that would mean the exodus of Gaza and refugees till the cows come home. Israel won't because the blockade is a convenient safeguard for their aggressive land grab.

The small hope is exceedingly small, but now The USA is realising the wisdom of The UN at long last, we might see progress. Israel's self determination as they put it is as the 51st state. USA funded, both financially and morally. I doubt Washington would react so kindly to Texas pushing into Mexico, murdering and waving prayer books along the way. The retaliation of Mexico would be seen more objectively.

The comments of the war mongering armchair warriors here is fascinating, not to mention repulsive.
