The difference this time is that the US didn't veto. It's actually quite significant in the directive (ceasefire) but it remains to be seen what happens thereafter (decolonization of the WB and reconstruction of Gaza).
It's more than symbolism. Whilst Israel has always, in its recent history, acted against the UN's various resolutions, it has never been in this situation before where the US is stepping aside (due to global demand) at the SC. And due to that same global demand, Israel has never been more isolated. It has no choice but to back off, or, if not that, then accept North Korea status incrementally.
