Declining Israeli soft power and UN legitimacy; strengthened Palestinian advocacy within UN bodies; weakened UN Secretary General authority as Israel threatens institutional severance; potential realignment of UN voting blocs along Israel-Palestine lines; erosion of international accountability mechanisms.
Similar to South Africa's 1974 UN expulsion for apartheid policies—formal international condemnation triggering state defiance and institutional withdrawal threats, though Israel's diplomatic leverage and US support differ significantly from apartheid-era dynamics.

Israeli consumers may face indirect effects through potential trade restrictions, reduced foreign investment, higher defense spending, and increased economic isolation. International consumers may see supply chain disruptions in technology and agricultural sectors where Israel is a significant supplier.
Potential escalation of UN sanctions, increased likelihood of BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) movement expansion, possible EU and international trade restrictions, increased defense budget allocation, and diplomatic isolation affecting bilateral trade agreements and investment flows.
