UN Security Council called for a ceasefire in Gaza, then Israel claimed it had damaged negotiations with Hamas. A US spokesman sees this as a “rhetorical diversionary tactic’ The USA waived its right to veto in the vote, thereby helping the resolution to succeed.
Netanyahu reacted angrily to the Americans' voting behavior and immediately canceled a delegation's visit to Washington that had been requested by the US government. This highlights the growing differences between the USA and Israel over the actions in Gaza.
