The United States has vetoed a United Nations Security Council resolution condemning Israel’s use of force in seeking to squelch protests at the border with Gaza. 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. Thousands of Palestinians were wounded and scores died as Israeli soldiers opened fire on Palestinians rushing the fences, some of them wielding flaming tyres or floating explosives on kites.
