The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) has approved a US-sponsored resolution outlining a plan for peace and stabilization in Gaza. The resolution authorizes the deployment of an international stabilization force tasked with providing security and overseeing the reconstruction effort in the Palestinian territory.
The plan calls for a sustained cessation of hostilities, the release of remaining hostages, and a massive, coordinated humanitarian aid effort. It also emphasizes the importance of a two-state solution as the long-term political horizon. The approval follows months of diplomatic negotiation, with several nations expressing caution over the logistics and mandate of the proposed international force.
Hamas has reportedly rejected the proposal, stating it does not guarantee a permanent end to the conflict. US President Donald Trump, however, hailed the vote, claiming it would lead to “further Peace all over the World.”
This diplomatic maneuver is seen as a crucial step towards de-escalation, but the implementation faces substantial hurdles, including securing commitment from all warring parties and addressing the immediate humanitarian crisis caused by the conflict. The UN’s next challenge is coordinating the multi-national force and the enormous rebuilding phase.
