As promised, US votes against UN resolution on Golan

For the first time, the United States voted on Friday against an annual UN resolution condemning Israel's alleged “occupation” of the Golan Heights, dropping its previous practice of abstaining in the vote.

The non-binding resolution was adopted in a General Assembly committee by a vote of 151 to 2, with the United States and Israel the only two countries opposing the measure. 14 countries abstained, according to AFP.
