U.S. Circulates UN Draft for Gaza Stabilization Force Through 2027

Washington seeks a December Security Council vote to enable initial deployments in January.

Overview

  • The draft outlines an International Stabilization Force with broad security and interim governance powers, described by a U.S. official as a control and stabilization mission rather than peacekeeping.
  • The mandate includes guarding Gaza’s borders with Israel and Egypt, securing civilians and humanitarian corridors, and training a new Palestinian police.
  • The text directs demilitarization by destroying military and terrorist infrastructure and permanently removing weapons from non‑state groups, with Hamas identified as a central focus.
  • The plan establishes a Board of Peace, chaired by President Donald Trump, to run a transitional administration and coordinate reconstruction until Palestinian Authority reforms are judged complete.
  • The proposal names prospective contributors such as Indonesia, Azerbaijan, Egypt, Turkey and possibly Iraqi forces, with operations coordinated with Israel and Egypt, while Hamas’s willingness to disarm remains the key unknown.
