Overview
- In a 13–0 vote with Russia and China abstaining, the council adopted Resolution 2803 endorsing a US framework that creates a temporary Peace Board and authorizes a multinational stabilization force through 2027.
- The force is empowered to use all necessary measures to secure borders, protect civilians, coordinate aid, train Palestinian police and enforce demilitarization, with any Israeli withdrawal tied to agreed milestones.
- The text introduces a conditional path toward Palestinian statehood linked to Palestinian Authority reforms and measurable progress in Gaza’s reconstruction.
- Hamas rejected the resolution and any mandated disarmament, saying an international force operating inside Gaza would lack neutrality and that disarmament requires a political process ending occupation.
- Israel’s leadership opposes any statehood track and insists on full demilitarization, while Arab and Muslim-majority countries voiced diplomatic support but had not formally pledged troops.
