Swift Adoption: US and Key Arab Nations Rally UN Security Council Behind Trump’s Gaza Peace Plan

Countries backing the measure include Qatar, Egypt, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Pakistan, Jordan, and Turkey. The United States, along with several Arab and Muslim-majority nations, joined forces on Friday to advocate for the UN Security Council’s quick endorsement of President Trump’s peace initiative for Gaza. These nations expressed their backing for the resolution ‘currently under consideration,’ emphasizing the necessity for its ‘swift adoption.’ The joint statement by the countries highlighted their united support for the Security Council Resolution being deliberated. In recent developments, the US initiated talks within the Security Council regarding a resolution that advances a ceasefire for Gaza and supports Trump’s plan. The resolution acknowledges the establishment of a transitional governing body known as the Board of Peace, anticipated to be led by Trump until the end of 2027. It also proposes the formation of a temporary International Stabilization Force to collaborate with Israel, Egypt, and trained Palestinian police to secure borders and facilitate Gaza’s demilitarization. Unlike previous versions, this draft references the potential for a future Palestinian state. Amid varying proposals, Russia presented its own resolution which lacks provisions for the Board of Peace or immediate deployment of an international force. While acknowledging the ceasefire initiative, the Russian draft focuses on the UN Secretary-General exploring implementation options and reporting on potential stabilisation force deployment in Gaza.
