United Nations Will Not Support U.S. Bid To Condemn Hamas Attacks On Israel
The text made no mention of Hamas, a terrorist group which controls the Gaza Strip and which has a long history of violent attacks against Israel.
The six nations who joined Israel and the US in opposing the pro-Palestinian measure were Australia, Micronesia, Nauru, Togo, Solomon Islands and the Marshall Islands.
The European Union was split with 12 member states, including Belgium, France and Spain, supporting the Palestinians.
The other 16 member states, including Germany and the United Kingdom, abstained by way of standing with Israel and the US.
Switzerland, New Zealand, Iceland and Norway supported the Palestinian call for international protection against Israel, while Canada abstained.
An American amendment condemning Hamas was struck down, even though it had a slim majority, 62-58 and 42 abstentions.
