    The U.S. was the only yes vote for the measure Friday. The vote came after the U.S. vetoed a Kuwaiti proposal to ask the secretary-general to propose ways to ensure “international protection” for Palestinian civilians.

    The Kuwaiti resolution also demanded a halt to the “the use of any excessive, disproportionate and indiscriminate force” by the Israeli military.

    The U.S. said it was one-sided for not mentioning Hamas.

    The U.S. resolution deleted the references to Israeli force and protecting Palestinians. Instead, it demanded that Hamas and other Palestinian militant groups stop “all violent activity and provocative actions” in Gaza.
