U.S. to Veto Resolution Protecting Palestinians at U.N. Security Council

HeadlineJun 01, 2018

U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley said Thursday she will veto a U.N. Security Council resolution calling for the protection of Palestinians living in the Occupied Territories. The resolution, introduced by Kuwait, calls Israel’s massacre of Palestinians at recent nonviolent protests in the Gaza Strip “excessive” and “indiscriminate.” Israeli snipers have killed at least 116 Palestinians since late March, while injuring some 12,000 others. Ambassador Haley circulated a rival resolution on Thursday that primarily blamed Hamas for the deaths and injuries.
