Overview
- Thirteen Council members voted in favor with Russia and China abstaining, endorsing a U.S.-drafted resolution tied to the current Gaza ceasefire.
- The text authorizes an International Stabilization Force to support border security with Israel and Egypt, demilitarize Gaza, disarm non‑state groups, protect civilians, and train a Palestinian police force.
- The resolution establishes a transitional Committee of the Peace with a mandate through December 31, 2027, and its annex specifies Donald Trump as chair.
- Israeli leaders reiterated opposition to any Palestinian statehood references while Hamas condemned the move as imposing international tutelage and rejecting disarmament provisions.
- Key details remain unresolved, including the force’s composition and precise mandates, even as the U.S. touts broad regional backing from states such as Egypt, Qatar, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Pakistan, Jordan and Turkey.
