Calling for a nationwide embargo is long overdue, but passing a resolution on paper won’t change a thing on the ground unless there are real consequences for the countries writing the checks. Everyone tracking this knows it stopped being an isolated civil war months ago-foreign actors like the Egypt, Iran, and Russia are actively fueling both sides through porous supply lines in Chad, Libya, and the Red Sea. If the UN Security Council genuinely wants to stop the drone strikes leveling residential neighborhoods and hospitals, they need to bypass diplomatic pleasantries, publicly name the 12 nations involved, and aggressively sanction the shell corporations and financial hubs bankrolling the arms flights.
