UN Security Council Backs U.S. Gaza Plan, Authorizes Transitional Authority and Multinational Force

Implementation hinges on troop commitments, defined command rules and tacit local cooperation as key details remain unsettled.

Overview

  • The Council adopted the U.S.-drafted resolution 13–0 with Russia and China abstaining, endorsing core elements of President Trump’s 20-point framework.
  • The measure authorizes a temporary International Stabilization Force through late 2027 with power to use all necessary measures to secure borders, protect civilians, enable aid and advance Gaza’s demilitarization.
  • The resolution establishes a transitional Junta de Paz to coordinate reconstruction and oversee a Palestinian technocratic committee, with U.S. Ambassador Mike Waltz saying Trump will preside over the body.
  • Language notes a possible pathway to Palestinian self-determination conditioned on Palestinian Authority reforms and reconstruction progress, while specifics remain deliberately vague.
  • Hamas rejected the plan and refuses to disarm, and no major troop contributors have formally committed to the ISF as the U.S. rules out sending ground forces and Israel objects to Turkish participation.
