UN Security Council Set to Vote on US Plan for Gaza Force and Transitional Authority

The push tests Council unity by seeking UN authority over Gaza’s security plus interim governance.

Overview

  • The Council is scheduled to vote Monday on a US resolution endorsing President Donald Trump’s 20‑point Gaza plan that would authorize an International Stabilization Force.
  • The draft tasks the ISF with supporting border security with Israel and Egypt, demilitarizing Gaza, disarming non‑state armed groups, protecting civilians, and training a Palestinian police.
  • The text creates a transitional Committee of the Peace with a mandate through December 31, 2027, and the annexed plan specifies Trump as chair.
  • The latest version references a possible future Palestinian state, a prospect publicly rejected by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and key Israeli ministers.
  • Russia has circulated a rival draft stressing a two‑state solution and deferring any force or governance authorization, as the US touts a joint backing from Qatar, Egypt, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Pakistan, Jordan and Turkey, with some members citing unclear mandates for the ISF and committee.
