Supporting the resolution were France, China, Russia, Argentina, Chad, Chile, Jordan and Luxembourg. Australia and the United States voted against.
UK, Nigeria, Lithuania, South Korea and Rwanda abstained from supporting the resolution
Speaking about the vote, US Ambassador Samantha Power said: “We voted against this resolution not because we are comfortable with the status quo....peace must come from hard compromises that occur at the negotiating table.”
She added:
"The United States every day searches for new ways to take constructive steps to support the parties in making progress toward achieving a negotiated settlement. The Security Council resolution put before us today is not one of those constructive steps."
She said the text was "deeply imbalanced" with "unconstructive deadlines that take no account of Israel’s legitimate security concerns."

You lot are sickos, but I will show you love as giving hate to racist people. I hope one day you will realise your mistakes.
You sickos work so hard to distort the truth otherwise your nazi ass would be dismantled
