"The United States has called on the United Nations Security Council to officially back its draft resolution aimed at bolstering President Donald Trump's Gaza peace plan, warning that Palestinians could suffer grave consequences if it does not. The call came as Russia presented the council with its own counter-proposal on Gaza, challenging Washington's draft, according to a copy seen by the Reuters news agency."
"A spokesperson for the US mission to the UN said in a Thursday statement that attempts to sow discord around Washington's resolution would only result in grave, tangible, and entirely avoidable consequences for Palestinians in Gaza should the ceasefire break down and Israel resume its assault. The US mission formally circulated its draft resolution to the 15 UNSC members last week for negotiations on the wording and substance of the text."
"According to a draft of the text seen by the AFP news agency, it would authorise a two-year mandate running until the end of 2027 for a transitional governance body in Gaza known as the Board of Peace that Trump would chair. It would also authorise member states to form a temporary International Stabilization Force (ISF) that would work on the permanent decommissioning of weapons from non-state armed groups in Gaza, protect civilians and secure humanitarian aid corridors."
The United States urged the UN Security Council to adopt a draft resolution supporting President Trump's Gaza peace plan and warned of grave consequences for Palestinians if the Council does not. Russia submitted a counter-proposal challenging Washington's draft. The US mission circulated the resolution to all 15 UNSC members for negotiation. The draft would authorize a two-year mandate through 2027 for a transitional Board of Peace chaired by Trump and establish a temporary International Stabilization Force (ISF) to decommission weapons, protect civilians, secure humanitarian corridors, and work with Israel, Egypt and newly trained Palestinian police. Discussions on troop contributions remain cautious.
