Overview

  • The measure recognizes a transitional Board of Peace to steer Gaza’s recovery through 2027, with President Donald Trump set to chair it.
  • Russia and China abstained, and Russia’s UN envoy said the move undermines the Security Council’s authority.
  • Hamas rejected the resolution, saying it fails to meet Palestinian rights and imposes an international trusteeship on Gaza.
  • The Palestinian Authority welcomed the vote, with Foreign Minister Varsen Aghabekian Shahin calling it a necessary first step toward peace.
  • The resolution authorizes a non-UN International Stabilisation Force to disarm Hamas and restore order, and it calls for unhindered aid access and a rebuilding role for institutions such as the World Bank.
