This seems like something extraordinary. When was the last time the US refrained to use veto power on an issue regarding Israel?

It was in 2016, a UN resolution condemning the settlements in the West bank and the US also abstained just like now. I remember it very well because it was the year I started following US politics. Obama was already a lame duck at that point as it was shortly after Trump's election. Netanyahu was pissed and Trump made it clear he'd reverse it once inaugurated.

Obama and Netanyahu were certainly not on the friendliest of terms. What about when Netanyahu was not in the picture?
