14 countries voted for it, the US abstained and 0 voted against it.
Thank you. None even joined the US in abstaining.

But of course, Netanyahu is lashing out at Obama, not questioning why basically every country in the world feels this way (though he'll have an ally in Trump again, it's not like the US is unanimous on Israel).

The U.S. lobbied with countries (Ukraine, NZ are already confirmed) in order to have them vote yes, so that's why.
And Israel lobbied the other way. Those countries made their decisions.

Yes, the US did make the decision for Trump.
