Overview
- Monday’s U.S.-drafted resolution would authorize a temporary International Stabilisation Force in Gaza through 2027 and endorse a transitional ‘Board of Peace.’
- The latest text adds that Trump’s plan could create a credible pathway to Palestinian self‑determination and statehood, a change made to secure troop contributors’ support.
- Russia has circulated a competing draft that avoids authorizing a force and either strengthens statehood language or asks the UN secretary‑general to study deployment options, depending on the version cited.
- Netanyahu, pressed by far‑right partners threatening to quit the coalition, said Israel’s opposition to a Palestinian state “has not changed,” as senior ministers also rejected statehood.
- Israeli outlets report U.S. difficulty recruiting contributors for the force and possible reconsideration of its deployment, even as Israel prepares logistics to host thousands of foreign soldiers.
