UN Security Council Backs Trump’s Gaza Plan, Authorizes Stabilization Force and Transitional Board

The next phase depends on securing troops, clarifying the mission, then winning Israeli and Palestinian buy-in.

Overview

  • The resolution passed 13–0 with Russia and China abstaining, attaches Trump’s full 20‑point plan, and references a conditional pathway to Palestinian self‑determination tied to PA reforms and reconstruction progress.
  • It authorizes an International Stabilisation Force to secure borders and pursue demilitarization using “all necessary measures” under international law, while specifying the force is not a UN peacekeeping mission and will not report to the Council.
  • The text establishes a Board of Peace chaired by Trump through 2027 and a technocratic Palestinian committee for day‑to‑day administration, with humanitarian aid scale‑up and World Bank‑linked financing for rebuilding.
  • Israel welcomed the plan’s focus on disarmament and deradicalization; Hamas rejected the resolution as foreign guardianship and opposes mandated disarmament; the Palestinian Authority welcomed the vote and signaled readiness to implement it.
  • Key operational gaps remain as potential contributors have not made binding troop pledges, though several Arab and Muslim‑majority states expressed support, with Indonesia saying it could deploy up to 20,000 personnel.
