The United States is set to share a draft resolution regarding President Donald Trump’s peace plan for Gaza with the 10 elected members of the United Nations Security Council. This move, expected to take place on Wednesday, is seen as a significant step in the peace process. Representatives from Egypt, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates will also be involved in this initiative, demonstrating strong regional support. They will join forces with the US to advance the plan.
Recently, Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas reached an agreement on the initial phase of Trump’s 20-point plan for Gaza. This agreement involved a ceasefire in their longstanding conflict and a deal for the release of hostages. The United States has prepared a draft resolution to present to the UN Security Council, outlining a two-year mandate for a transitional governance body in Gaza and the deployment of an international stabilisation force in the region.
Information obtained by Reuters indicates that the draft resolution is currently under review and that some adjustments may be made before sharing it with the Security Council members. Approval of a resolution requires a minimum of nine affirmative votes and no vetoes from key nations like Russia, China, the US, Britain, or France. It remains unclear whether Russia and China have been briefed on the draft resolution by the US at this stage.
The proposed resolution, as seen in a two-page document by Reuters, would authorize the establishment of a Board of Peace transitional governance administration and a temporary International Stabilisation Force (ISF) in Gaza. This force would be empowered to utilize all necessary measures, including force if needed, to fulfill its mandate. The introduction of such measures signals a potential turning point in addressing the ongoing conflicts and establishing a stable governance system in Gaza.
