科威特发起的在加沙地带和约旦河西岸保护巴勒斯坦人的提案星期五交付安理会表决时，美国将“毫无疑问”地行使否决权。
美国常驻联合国代表黑利称这项提案是以“完全一边倒”和“丧失道德”的方法来制止以色列和巴勒斯坦人之间的暴力。
黑利说，决议草案要求以色列停止“过度和肆意”地使用暴力，然而是哈马斯这个星期向以色列城镇发射了70枚火箭。
黑利警告说，任何投票赞成这项提案的安理会成员将明确显示他们不具备参加任何双边谈判所需的信誉。
美国作为安理会常任理事国，拥有阻止任何提案的否决权。
The United States will “unquestionably” veto a Kuwaiti-sponsored resolution on protecting Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank when it comes up for a vote in the Security Council Friday.
U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley calls the draft a “grossly one-sided” and “morally bankrupt” approach on stopping the violence between Israelis and Palestinians.
She says while the draft demands Israel stop “excessive and indiscriminate” use of force, it is Hamas that fired 70 rockets into Israeli towns this week.
Haley warns any council member that votes in favor of the draft resolution “will clarify their own lack of fitness to take part in any credible negotiations between the two parties.”
As a permanent member of the Security Council, the United States has veto power and can kill a draft.
