"A U.S.-drafted U.N. resolution endorsing President Donald Trump's Gaza peace plan, set for a Security Council vote Monday, has encountered stiff opposition from both Israel, which says it goes too far in envisioning a Palestinian state, and Palestinian organizations that say it does not go far enough. The views of many of the 15 council members remain unclear. Nine must approve the measure with no vetoes from the permanent members - Britain, France, Russia and China, in addition to the United States."
"Trump announced his 20-point plan in late September after extensive negotiations with Israel and Hamas, both of which said they agreed to it. While initial elements of the plan - a ceasefire, the release of Israeli hostages held by Hamas and expansion of humanitarian aid to Gaza - have at least partially been carried out, the rest has been stalled."
A U.S.-drafted U.N. resolution would endorse President Trump's 20-point Gaza peace plan and is scheduled for a Security Council vote requiring nine affirmative votes and no permanent-member vetoes. The proposal faces opposition from Israel for envisioning a Palestinian state and from Palestinian organizations for not going far enough. European allies and Algeria sought greater clarity, and Russia proposed an alternate measure requesting a U.N. report. Initial elements of the plan, including a ceasefire, hostage releases and expanded humanitarian aid, have been partially implemented, while broader provisions remain stalled. The U.S. draft would create a two-year international Board of Peace headed by Trump to oversee Gaza governance, security and reconstruction and supervise a Palestinian technocratic committee for day-to-day administration.
