Overview
- The Council adopted the text with 11 votes in favor as Russia, China and Pakistan abstained and Algeria did not vote, after the United States drafted and circulated the resolution.
- MINURSO’s mandate was renewed for one year, and the Secretary‑General was asked to deliver a strategic review of the mission’s future within six months.
- The resolution states Morocco’s 2007 autonomy proposal may be the most viable solution, but it does not finalize the territory’s status and urges a return to UN‑led negotiations.
- King Mohammed VI welcomed the outcome, voiced a “no winner, no loser” approach, and invited Algeria to a candid dialogue, while U.S. advisers called for prompt talks grounded in autonomy.
- In parallel to this diplomatic push, U.S. planning for an international security presence in Gaza remains at an early stage under CENTCOM, with reported Israeli objections to any Turkish role.
