"Israeli public broadcaster Kan reported on Sunday that Netanyahu's government was engaged in a last-minute diplomatic push to alter the draft resolution, which the US had changed to include more defined language about Palestinian self-determination under pressure from Arab and Muslim countries expected to contribute troops to the ISF. The draft now says that conditions may be in place for a credible pathway to Palestinian self-determination and statehood after reforms to the Palestinian Authority are faithfully carried out and Gaza redevelopment has advanced."
"There has been criticism that Palestinian voices and aspirations have been sidelined in the whole spectacle of Trump's Gaza plan from its launch, which came with the US president's customary fanfare. On Friday, a joint statement with eight countries Qatar, Egypt, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Pakistan, Jordan and Turkiye urged swift adoption of the draft resolution by the 15-member UNSC."
Israel mounted a last-ditch effort to change wording in a US-drafted UN Security Council resolution on the next phase of Gaza policy. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated firm opposition to a Palestinian state while diplomatic pressure grew over language on Palestinian self-determination. The draft would mandate a transitional administration and an international stabilisation force (ISF) in Gaza and now references conditions for a credible pathway to Palestinian statehood after PA reforms and Gaza redevelopment. Potential troop contributors said a UN mandate is essential, and Israel rejected Turkiye having any on-the-ground role. Several regional states urged swift UNSC adoption amid criticism that Palestinian voices have been sidelined.
