(AP-New York Times) The U.S. is demanding changes in a draft resolution deploring what is called Israel's "excessive use of force" in Gaza, to be discussed at an emergency meeting of the UN General Assembly on Wednesday. The U.S. vetoed virtually the same resolution in the Security Council on June 1. U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley called that Kuwait-sponsored resolution "grossly one-sided" for criticizing the use of force by Israel while not mentioning the Islamic militant group Hamas. Haley sent a letter to all UN member states Tuesday calling the proposed General Assembly resolution "fundamentally imbalanced" for "ignoring basic truths about the situation in Gaza." She proposed an amendment condemning Hamas for firing rockets into Israel and inciting violence along the Gaza-Israel border fence, "thereby putting civilians at risk." The amendment would also condemn the diversion of resources in Gaza to build tunnels to infiltrate Israel. The current draft resolution "deplores the firing of rockets from the Gaza Strip against Israeli civilian areas," but doesn't say who is doing the firing. 2018-06-13 00:00:00Full Article
