Overview
- The Council adopted the U.S.-drafted resolution 13–0 with Russia and China abstaining, attaching President Trump’s 20‑point plan and setting a mandate that runs to the end of 2027.
- The measure recognizes a transitional Board of Peace, which Trump says he will chair, and authorizes an International Stabilisation Force to use all necessary measures to secure Gaza and dismantle armed groups.
- Israel welcomed the plan’s focus on demilitarization and border security, the Palestinian Authority offered cooperation, and Hamas rejected the resolution as an imposed guardianship that demands its disarmament.
- Any pathway to Palestinian self‑determination is conditioned on Palestinian Authority reforms and tangible progress in reconstruction, with no timeline or guarantee for statehood.
- Key operational questions remain unresolved, including troop contributors and rules of engagement for the force, as countries weigh participation and critics in Moscow and Beijing warn the plan is vague and U.N. oversight is limited.
