Overview
- The Council adopted the U.S.-drafted resolution with 13 votes in favor as Russia and China abstained, shifting the plan from proposal to an endorsed mandate.
- The text authorizes an International Stabilization Force to work with Israel, Egypt and a newly trained Palestinian police to secure borders, protect civilians, open aid corridors and decommission weapons from armed groups.
- The resolution welcomes a transitional Board of Peace, envisioned to oversee governance and reconstruction through 2027, with the text indicating President Trump would chair the body.
- Arab and Muslim-majority states publicly backed the measure and signaled willingness to provide troops under a UN mandate, yet countries have not made firm commitments and key rules of engagement and disarmament mechanisms remain unclear.
- The plan’s reference to a potential future Palestinian state is conditioned on Palestinian Authority reforms and reconstruction progress, drawing Hamas’ rejection of the resolution and renewed Israeli opposition to statehood.
