"On Nov. 17, the United Nations Security Council passed a resolution that officially endorsed the U.S. peace plan for Gaza. It was a big moment for President Donald Trump's administration, which spent months negotiating the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas and weeks lobbying other countries to support the plan's key tenets: the establishment of a so-called International Stabilization Force designed to provide stability to the battered enclave; the formation of a transitional administration under a Trump-led Board of Peace; the disarmament of Hamas"
"The reality on the ground is far less rosy. Nearly eight weeks after it was agreed to, Trump's peace plan remains in a moribund state. The best that can be said is that the approximately 2 million Palestinians in Gaza are no longer under bombardment every day and Israeli troops are no longer getting ambushed in the dense confines of Gaza's major cities."
The U.N. Security Council endorsed a U.S. peace plan that included an International Stabilization Force, a transitional administration led by a Trump-led Board of Peace, disarmament of Hamas, and large-scale reconstruction. The U.S. invested months negotiating the ceasefire and lobbying support. The ceasefire and partial Israeli pullback have reduced daily mass killings and urban ambushes. Violence and ceasefire violations continue, with occasional retaliatory strikes causing high casualties. Key plan elements, particularly establishing international policing and enabling a full Israeli troop withdrawal, have seen little progress roughly eight weeks after agreement.
