That depends on the resolution.

General Assembly resolutions are merely recommendations; states can choose whether to abide by them or ignore them.

The same is true for most Security Council resolutions. Only Security Council resolutions that are worded in a very specific manner are considered legally binding.

If Israel violated a legally binding resolution, in a worst case scenario, the country would face international sanctions and/or international armed force.

Joseph, you’re mistaken: The UN’s recognition of Israel allows Israel to participate in UN proceedings, but does not affect Israel’s status as a state.
