@evan There were some comments on news podcasts from Robert Wood about the US rationale; the council and the wording of the resolution not (1) condemning the Hamas attack and (2) not affirming Israel's right to defend itself. I found this print link in the news feeds: https://www.usnews.com/news/us/articles/2023-12-08/un-chief-and-many-nations-demand-immediate-humanitarian-cease-fire-in-gaza-but-us-remains-opposed which seems to be the same comments, plus this about the UK abstaining: https://news.sky.com/story/israel-hamas-war-un-security-council-resolution-to-demand-ceasefire-in-gaza-fails-13025836
The latter implies that the resolution had details in it ("the proposal") which might be relevant. ?
