U.S. said it abstained instead of voting for the resolution because language did not contain a provision condemning Hamas. Among other things State Department also noted:
This failure to condemn Hamas is particularly difficult to understand coming days after the world once again witnessed the horrific acts terrorist groups commit.
We reiterate the need to accelerate and sustain the provision of humanitarian assistance through all available routes – land, sea, and air. We continue to discuss with partners a pathway to the establishment of a Palestinian state with real security guarantees for Israel to establish long-term peace and security.
After the U.S. abstention, Netanyahu canceled his delegation which was to visit DC to discuss situation in Gaza. U.S. expressed disappointment that the trip was cancelled.
Is this a turning point in U.S. Israel relationship or just a reflection of Biden and Netanyahu tensions?

What, realistically, is the US going to do that's actually meaningful to Israel?
A security council resolution is as good as a strongly worded letter and, realistically, the US and Israel know this.
