UN Security Council Backs U.S. Gaza Plan, Authorizes International Stabilisation Force and Board of Peace

The vote authorizes a multinational force alongside a transitional body for Gaza under a U.S.-drafted plan.

Overview

  • The resolution passed 13–0 with Russia and China abstaining, endorsing a U.S. plan that creates a Board of Peace and mandates an International Stabilisation Force through 2027.
  • Hamas rejected the measure as an international trusteeship and opposed the force’s disarmament role, while the Palestinian Authority welcomed the vote and offered to cooperate.
  • Israel praised the plan’s focus on demilitarisation and deradicalisation, as the text links any pathway to Palestinian statehood to PA reforms and visible progress on Gaza’s reconstruction.
  • The force is authorized to use all necessary measures, coordinate with Israel, Egypt and a vetted Palestinian police contingent, and secure borders and aid corridors, with troop contributions still being assembled.
  • The plan envisions a U.S.-led transitional Board of Peace that U.S. officials say President Trump will chair, though key details on membership, rules of engagement, disarmament modalities, and financing via mechanisms referencing the World Bank remain unresolved.
