U.N. Security Council Endorses Trump’s Gaza Plan, Authorizes Stabilization Force and Transitional Board

The 13–0 vote with Russia and China abstaining sets a 2027 mandate for international oversight.

Overview

  • Hamas rejected the resolution as imposing international trusteeship and refused disarmament, while the Palestinian Authority welcomed it and said it is ready to cooperate.
  • Israel praised the plan’s focus on demilitarization and security, even as the resolution’s reference to a pathway to Palestinian statehood has drawn criticism from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
  • The International Stabilization Force is empowered to use all necessary measures to demilitarize Gaza and will work alongside Israel, Egypt and a vetted Palestinian police contingent.
  • The Board of Peace, which President Trump says he will chair through 2027, will coordinate reconstruction, humanitarian aid and a technocratic Palestinian committee, with financing mechanisms expected to involve international institutions such as the World Bank.
  • Key operational questions remain unresolved, including troop contributors and rules of engagement, as a fragile ceasefire that began on October 10 continues and the remains of several deceased hostages have yet to be returned.
