Isn't voting against this literally mean that they think Israel already annexed the West bank?
Seven, including the US, Israel and Canada, voted against the resolution while 11 others abstained. The vote will now proceed to the UN general assembly.
Isn't this the kind of thing America vetoes? Or is this another process?
It's a separate process as per https://news.un.org/en/story/2022/04/1116982 and https://news.un.org/en/story/2024/04/1148896 - this resolution is in the UN General Assembly, whereas vetos apply to things that get sent to the UN Security Council.
When the USSR tried to use it's veto to end the Korean war, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_General_Assembly_Resolution_377_(V got passed to provide authorization to allow the UN members to continue fighting in support of South Korea.
