Whilst it's a noble thought that any country - including Israel - should be bound by UN articles and resolutions, the fact of the matter is that countries pick and choose what they want to abide by.
And this isn't just Israel. A recent blatant violation of UN resolutions can be found in the supposed 'independence' of Kosovo from Serbia. UN Resolution 1244 specifically states that Serbia is the successor state of what was previously Yugoslavia, and that Kosovo was still a province of Serbia.
Nonetheless, some western powers - particularly the US - out-manoeuvred the UN and proclaimed Kosovo was its own state, despite minority UN member recognition, and clear resolution violation.
That fact is, you can call any country on UN violation of this or UN that until you're blue in the face, and they'll still ignore it.
