Overview
- The 15-member council is scheduled to vote at 5 p.m. ET on a U.S. resolution endorsing President Trump’s Gaza plan and authorizing an international stabilization force to demilitarize the territory.
- Washington revised the text to say that after Palestinian Authority reforms and Gaza redevelopment advance, there may be a “credible pathway” to Palestinian self-determination and statehood.
- Facing threats from far-right partners, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated Israel’s opposition to any Palestinian state as his government pressed for last-minute changes to the wording.
- Hamas and allied Palestinian factions rejected the resolution and have refused to disarm, calling the measure an attempt to impose foreign guardianship over Gaza.
- Russia circulated a competing draft with stronger statehood language and holds veto power, while countries weighing troop contributions say they require a U.N. mandate to participate.
