In a significant diplomatic move, nine countries, including the United Arab Emirates (UAE), have jointly endorsed a US-drafted United Nations Security Council resolution supporting President Donald Trump’s Comprehensive Plan to End the Gaza Conflict. The resolution, formally circulated last week, proposes a two-year mandate for a transitional governance body and an international stabilization force. The plan, announced on September 29, aims to pave the way for Palestinian self-determination and statehood, according to a joint statement issued by the UAE, US, Qatar, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Pakistan, Jordan, and Turkey. These nations emphasized the plan as a sincere effort toward achieving peace and stability in the region. The US mission to the UN has urged the Security Council to expedite the resolution’s adoption. Notably, Israel and Hamas agreed to the first phase of Trump’s 20-point plan in October, which includes a hostage release deal and is annexed to the draft resolution. While Trump has ruled out deploying US troops to Gaza, discussions are underway with countries like Indonesia, the UAE, Egypt, Qatar, Turkey, and Azerbaijan to contribute approximately 20,000 troops to the stabilization force.
