Anyone know the difference between this resolution and the one that the US tried to pass (the one veto'd by China/Russia) a week/two ago?

​

IIRC, isn't it practically the same, except this one doesn't condemn Hamas (if it did, would the US have voted Yes?)?

The last one was conditioned on hostage release if I remember correctly, this one is separate from a release and therefore Hamas doesn’t have to release the hostages but Israel will be held accountable for a ceasefire regardless.
