Overview
- Russia circulated an alternative Security Council draft on Gaza that diverges from the U.S.-supported text tied to the Trump plan.
- The Russian proposal omits demilitarization, opposes Israeli forces remaining beyond the so‑called Linea Gialla, and drops the U.S.-proposed Board of Peace interim authority.
- It asks the UN Secretary‑General to evaluate options for deploying an international stabilization force.
- The draft rejects any demographic or territorial changes to Gaza and reaffirms support for a two‑state solution and the territorial integrity of Gaza and the West Bank under the Palestinian Authority.
- A U.S. mission spokesperson warned the move carries serious, avoidable consequences for Gazans and said the ceasefire is fragile, as the U.S. and several Arab states push for a rapid vote that could face a Russian or Chinese veto.
