U.S. Pushes UN Resolution to Deploy International Force in Gaza Amid Israel’s Genocide

The United States is pushing a draft UN Security Council resolution to deploy an International Stabilization/Security Force (ISF) in Gaza under a transitional “Board of Peace” with a minimum two‑year mandate.

“UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has called for a UN-mandated peacekeeping force to be deployed in Gaza to help maintain the ceasefire”

Some versions of the draft expand the mandate to the end of 2027.

The draft, confirmed by U.S. officials, is framed as part of President Donald Trump’s plan.

The goals of the plan include protecting civilians, securing borders with Israel and Egypt, enforcing demilitarization, and training a new Palestinian police force.

The text is still being circulated and, in several accounts, has not yet been formally submitted for a vote.

The draft is linked to a ceasefire and hostage-release framework that preceded it.

Several sources highlight that U.S. troops will not be deployed inside Gaza.

Potential contributors to the force include Indonesia, UAE, Egypt, Qatar, Turkey, Azerbaijan, and others.

These contributors would operate under a unified command with input from Israel and Egypt.

The UK and UN leadership emphasize that any force must have a Security Council mandate.

Positions of China and Russia range from uncertain to expected opposition regarding the force.

Timelines for deployment vary, with some accounts targeting January 2026 and others as early as January next year.

Governance design is contested.

“The UN Security Council passed a resolution establishing a two-year transitional governing body in Gaza called the "Peace Council," supported by an international stabilization force authorized to use necessary force to protect civilians, aid humanitarian efforts, secure borders, and train a new Palestinian police force”

Several sources describe a temporary “Board of Peace” and a technocratic Palestinian committee to run Gaza while an ISF enforces demilitarization and trains a new Palestinian police force.

Some outlets claim the Board would be chaired by Donald Trump, with Tony Blair involved, and portray the mission as enforcement rather than traditional peacekeeping.

Financially, a World Bank–managed trust fund is floated for reconstruction.

Other narratives debate who is excluded from governance—Hamas, and possibly the Palestinian Authority after reforms—revealing sharp political divides.

Israel’s stance is split across accounts, with Israeli media and West Asian outlets differing on consultation and control.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is quoted saying only a force approved by Israel will enter Gaza.

Al Jazeera reports that Israel opposes any United Nations involvement.

CNN and other sources describe a unified command including Israel and Egypt in the plan.

Israel Hayom claims the plan was developed with both Israel and Egypt.

In contrast, reporting from JFeed states that Israel’s Cabinet has not reviewed the draft.

Officials worry that the aggressive timeline and specifics could pressure Israel before its policy is finalized.

This UN push unfolds amid mass Palestinian death from Israeli military operations that critics describe as genocide.

“Foreign ministers from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UAE, Jordan, Pakistan, and Indonesia met in Istanbul to discuss Gaza’s future, with Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan urging Muslim nations to support Palestinian self-governance and Gaza’s reconstruction”

Al-Jazeera Net reports a ceasefire followed a campaign that killed over 68,000 Palestinians—mostly civilians—and leveled Gaza’s infrastructure.

PressTV shares rights-focused criticism that the plan ignores occupation, accountability for war crimes, and Palestinian self-determination.

Other outlets note body returns under a U.S.-brokered truce and argue that speeding approval is the best chance to replace Israeli troops with an international force and avoid renewed killing.

Coverage varies in tone: some Western mainstream outlets confirm process details with limited rights framing, while several West Asian and other outlets foreground Palestinian civilian deaths and legal accountability.
