UN Security Council Votes On US-Drafted Resolution Backing Donald Trump's Gaza Plan

The United States circulated a U.N. Security Council draft resolution to convert the fragile ceasefire into a two-year transitional period under a U.S.-backed 'Board of Peace'.

“Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu publicly rejected the idea of a Palestinian state after far-right coalition partners objected to US-backed UN draft language and Donald Trump’s Gaza peace plan that include a possible “pathway to Palestinian self-determination and statehood” conditional on Palestinian reforms”

The draft would also authorize a roughly 20,000-strong International Stabilization Force (ISF).

Washington pressed the council to adopt the text and warned that blocking or delaying the resolution could have 'grave, tangible' consequences and risk a return to fighting.

At the same time, Washington stressed it would not deploy U.S. troops.

The draft links reconstruction and Palestinian Authority reforms to a possible future Palestinian state and ties Israeli withdrawals to demilitarization milestones.

That makes approval politically consequential for both Gaza and the region.

The draft's institutional architecture is consequential and contested.

It would establish a two-year "Board of Peace", reportedly envisioned to be chaired by Donald Trump.

The proposal would also authorize an International Security Force to work with Israel, Egypt and newly trained Palestinian police to demilitarize Gaza, decommission weapons and secure aid corridors.

Washington has said it will not send U.S. troops.

It has discussed potential contributions with countries including Indonesia, the UAE, Egypt, Qatar, Türkiye and Azerbaijan.

Several potential contributors reportedly have reservations about confronting Hamas, and no firm commitments were confirmed.

Diplomatic cleavages are stark: Moscow circulated a rival draft that omits the Board of Peace and asks the U.N. secretary-general to lay out international security force (ISF) options.

“The United States urged the UN Security Council to approve its draft resolution backing President Donald Trump’s Gaza peace plan, warning that Palestinians could face “grave, tangible” consequences if the text is not adopted and a ceasefire collapses”

Washington sought joint backing from regional mediators and warned that rejection could imperil the ceasefire.

Israel’s government and several Israeli ministers publicly rejected any immediate move toward Palestinian statehood and voiced concerns about the Palestinian Authority meeting reform conditions.

Hamas condemned the U.S. plan as "dangerous" and rejected clauses on disarmament and foreign military presence.

Humanitarian stakes and reporting differ by outlet.

Al Jazeera, The New Arab and Anadolu Ajansı document extensive Palestinian suffering.

Al Jazeera noted the two‑year campaign had killed at least 69,179 people in Gaza.

The New Arab highlighted flooding, destroyed homes and 13,000 displaced families in makeshift shelters.

Anadolu quoted claims of more than 69,000 deaths.

They warn that failure to secure an agreed council text risks more civilian harm.

Western mainstream outlets such as CNN and BBC stress implementation problems and sequencing doubts.

Western alternative outlets (Middle East Eye, NewsLooks) foreground Palestinian denunciations of sovereignty loss and describe the draft as effectively imposing external control over Gaza’s future.
