US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley rejected the Kuwaiti-authored resolution - which sought “international protection” for Palestinian civilians - as “grossly one-sided” and “morally bankrupt”, saying it failed to mention Hamas’s role in instigating violence. Matching America’s veto, the security council subsequently show down a US-authored resolution that faulted Hamas and called on militant groups to cease “all violent activity and provocative actions”. “The Palestinian people deserve a better life that can only happen if we acknowledge and reject the terrorist actions of Hamas”, Ms Haley said during a Security Council meeting ahead of the vote.
