United States Pushes UN Resolution to Control Gaza Amid Israel’s Genocide

The United States is pushing a draft UN Security Council resolution to install a two-year International Stabilization/Security Force (ISF) in Gaza alongside a transitional governance body dubbed the “Board of Peace.”

“Official sources speaking to Al Jazeera today, Thursday, revealed that the United States has officially distributed a draft resolution regarding the Gaza Strip to members of the UN Security Council”

This body would have the authority to use force, secure Gaza’s borders with Israel and Egypt, protect civilians and humanitarian corridors, and work to disarm armed groups.

Multiple outlets say the effort aligns with Donald Trump’s 20‑point Gaza plan and seeks World Bank-backed reconstruction funding through at least 2027.

The mission is described as robust peace enforcement that could later transition to a UN-led civilian effort.

Support from the US, UK, and France is reported, while the text is described as circulated or informally shared but not yet formally introduced for negotiations or a vote.

The composition of the force and the terms of participation remain disputed.

Several countries with majority Muslim populations have been approached for troop contributions, including Indonesia, Egypt, Azerbaijan, Turkey, the UAE, and Qatar.

The United States requires that participants be acceptable to Israel, which has openly opposed Turkey's involvement.

Turkey has expressed readiness to participate but demands clear and high-quality agreements before committing.

Egypt has indicated willingness to contribute under a United Nations mandate focused on peacekeeping and training Palestinian police.

Analysts caution that China, Russia, and Algeria may seek to maintain UN Security Council control over the mission’s authorization and oversight.

The mandate is expansive, including securing Gaza’s borders with Israel and Egypt, protecting civilians and humanitarian zones, supporting and training a new Palestinian police force, and dismantling the military infrastructure of Hamas through disarmament and decommissioning.

Several outlets describe a unified or coordinated command that works with Israel and Egypt.

One Israeli outlet claims the ISF would be the sole military presence and even proposes a buffer along a “yellow line” to separate Israeli forces and Hamas fighters and allow a “safe exit” for militants, which is a starkly different operational vision.

Others cast the force as an enforcement mission rather than traditional peacekeeping, with the “Board of Peace” steering governance during the transition.

Process and timelines also diverge across reports.

Some describe imminent Council action, including expectations of debate soon, an anticipated vote in roughly two weeks, and deployment as early as January.

Others stress that the text remains informally shared and not yet formally on the UNSC’s agenda.

Several outlets also flag the vote math and veto risks, noting that US-UK-France support could meet resistance from Russia, China, and Algeria.

One mainstream outlet includes the ceasefire and exchange of remains—Israel returning Palestinian bodies and militants returning Israeli soldiers—as part of the wider effort to stabilize the situation.

Israeli involvement and acceptance are also disputed.

One outlet reports Israel’s Security Cabinet hasn’t even reviewed the US-drafted text, fueling concerns Israel is being sidelined; another asserts the draft was created jointly by the US, Israel, and Egypt.

Meanwhile, US officials and regional media repeatedly stress that any participating countries must be acceptable to Israel, even as Jordan and others show reluctance to send troops to fight Hamas.

Several sources describe the governance track — a Board of Peace or similar peace council — that would steer reconstruction and evaluate Palestinian Authority reforms with World Bank support.

Notably, the provided sources do not describe Israeli actions in Gaza as "genocide"; most frame the situation around ceasefire, demilitarization, or "conflict" language, even while reporting that Israel returned Palestinian bodies during the ceasefire period.
