Overview
- Washington’s latest draft would authorize a two-year International Stabilization Force and endorse a Board of Peace that President Trump would head as a transitional authority for Gaza.
- For the first time, the text links progress to Palestinian self‑determination and statehood, contingent on Palestinian Authority reforms and Gaza redevelopment, and sets phased IDF withdrawals as the ISF takes control.
- Russia circulated a competing resolution that removes the Board of Peace and asks the UN Secretary‑General to outline options for a stabilization force with clearer UN oversight.
- The United States joined Qatar, Egypt, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Pakistan, Jordan and Turkey in a joint call for swift adoption, warning delays could bring “grave” consequences under a fragile ceasefire.
- Diplomats indicate both texts could be put to a vote early next week, with divides persisting over oversight, the Palestinian Authority’s role, the ISF’s mandate and timelines, and potential troop contributors.
