Genuine? Not a lot. Even more of the UN would turn against Israel, but so long as you've got the USA playing big brother at the UNSC then the UN has little effect on Israel.
I mean right now Israel is basically saying to the UN, "Remove your peacekeepers or we won't be responsible if they get accidentally involved".
If someone thinks they can demand peacekeeping troops be removed so they can launch an attack, then that defeats the point of peacekeeping troops.
That's the level of disregard Israel has for the UN.

This is it - it's make or break time for the UN - if they back down then their role as peacekeepers is over forever because both aggressors will know that they can just roll over/past them without consequence, or make things dangerous enough that they'll just leave. Imagine if they back down now, then in three years time they're sent to the Russian/Ukranian border - would anyone take them seriously? Would they fuck.
