This is the best summary I could come up with:

The vote is on a U.N. Security Council proposal, put forward by the United Arab Emirates and repeatedly whittled down just for Biden, that calls for limiting the hostilities in Gaza and expanding aid distribution.

Days later, a similar U.N. resolution, this one in the General Assembly, which doesn’t have the power to take binding positions, passed 153-10; the U.S. was one of 10 nations, including several vassal states and Israel, to vote against it.

Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., has, like Biden, echoed Israel advocates’ talk of the country’s “right to defend itself” since the war started on October 7, but this week urged the U.S. to vote “YES” on the latest U.N. resolution.

(The next day, Sanders modified his language to demand the U.S. “not veto a reasonable resolution to stop the hostilities.”) Republican hawk Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina also conceded this week that Israel could do more to limit civilian deaths.

Also this week, six moderate House Democrats known for their national security backgrounds sent a letter to Biden, expressing their concern for Israel’s military strategy and the civilians they have killed.

The resulting picture is one of Biden undermining his own campaign: alienating his base for a foreign ally likely to side with his GOP rival, and isolating the U.S. instead of rebuilding relationships post-Trump.
