UN Security Council Backs U.S. Gaza Plan, Authorizes International Stabilization Force

The resolution outlines a conditional path to Palestinian statehood after reforms and reconstruction.

Overview

  • The Council adopted the U.S.-drafted text 13–0 with Russia and China abstaining, moving Trump’s 20-point Gaza blueprint from proposal to UN mandate.
  • It authorizes a multinational force through 2027 to decommission weapons and dismantle military infrastructure using all necessary measures, and invites states to join a transitional Board of Peace.
  • The final text says conditions may be in place for a credible pathway to Palestinian self-determination once Palestinian Authority reforms are enacted and Gaza’s redevelopment advances.
  • Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reaffirmed Israel’s opposition to any Palestinian state as hard-right ministers pressed him to denounce the resolution’s statehood language.
  • Hamas and allied factions rejected the decision as an imposed trusteeship and objected to the force’s disarmament role, while potential troop contributors await mandate details before committing forces.
