The United Nations Security Council rejected a Palestinian resolution demanding Israel withdraw from disputed territories within three years on Tuesday.
The resolution failed to get the minimum nine “yes” votes in the Security Council.
It received eight “yes” votes, two “no” votes — including one from the United States — and five abstentions.

The United States, Israel’s closest ally, reiterated its opposition to the draft resolution earlier Tuesday. It had insisted on a negotiated peace agreement between Israel and the Palestinians, not an imposed timetable.
