Overview
- The latest U.S. draft links Palestinian Authority reforms and Gaza reconstruction to a potential pathway to Palestinian self-determination and statehood.
- The text would authorize a two-year transitional governing body called the Board of Peace and a temporary International Stabilisation Force that multiple reports say President Donald Trump would chair and partner with regional states.
- New wording clarifies phased Israeli military withdrawal tied to ISF control and demilitarisation milestones, with a limited security perimeter retained until threats subside.
- Russia has circulated a competing draft requesting the UN Secretary-General propose options for a stabilization force and dropping any reference to the Board of Peace, while China and others demand UN oversight and clarity on mandate and accountability.
- Prospective troop contributors remain wary, with the UAE saying it is unlikely to join and others seeking legal and operational detail, as diplomats say a vote is pending after a silence procedure and the U.S. warns against delays or divisions.
