Overview
- The United States presented a draft Security Council resolution outlining implementation of President Trump's peace plan and briefed all Council members after earlier consultations with elected members and regional partners.
- U.S. Ambassador Mike Waltz convened Egypt, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Turkey alongside the Council's elected members to build support for the text.
- Trump said the international force would deploy "very soon" and noted that several countries have volunteered, while no troop commitments have been announced pending a UN mandate.
- The draft would authorize a multinational stabilization force with authority to use necessary measures for tasks including border security cooperation, demilitarization, disarmament of armed groups, civilian protection and training of a Palestinian police, and it proposes a transition "peace committee" chaired by Trump through 2027.
- Diplomatic sources say countries such as Indonesia are prepared to participate provided the Council grants a mandate, as envisioned in the October 10 ceasefire that calls for a mostly Arab and Muslim force to oversee security during Israeli withdrawals, with Gaza's humanitarian needs still acute.
