UN Security Council Backs Trump’s Gaza Plan, Authorizes International Force

Implementation now hinges on concrete troop commitments with clear authority for the stabilization force.

Overview

  • The Council adopted the U.S.-drafted resolution 13–0 with Russia and China abstaining, endorsing a ceasefire framework established on October 10.
  • The text authorizes an International Stabilization Force tasked with border security, demilitarization, disarmament of non‑state groups, civilian protection and police training, though its composition and powers remain undefined.
  • A transitional Peace Committee is mandated through December 31, 2027 to oversee Gaza’s governance pending Palestinian Authority reform, with the annex naming Donald Trump as chair.
  • The Palestinian Authority and Israel welcomed the vote for different reasons, while Hamas condemned the measure as foreign tutelage and rejected the disarmament mandate.
  • The resolution references a potential path to Palestinian statehood contingent on reforms and reconstruction, as diplomats seek troop and funding pledges from cautious prospective contributors.
