The United Nations Security Council has adopted a US-drafted resolution endorsing President Donald Trump’s 20-point plan to end the ongoing conflict in Gaza. The resolution, passed on Monday, authorizes the establishment of an international stabilization force and a transitional governance body known as the ‘Board of Peace.’ This body, chaired by Trump, will oversee Gaza’s reconstruction and economic recovery while ensuring demilitarization by decommissioning weapons and dismantling military infrastructure. The plan includes a ceasefire and a hostage-release deal, previously agreed upon by Israel and Hamas last month. However, the resolution has sparked controversy in Israel due to its reference to a potential future Palestinian statehood. The Palestinian Authority has expressed support for the resolution, while Hamas-led factions have opposed it, viewing it as a step toward foreign control over Gaza. Russia, a Security Council member with veto power, abstained from the vote, allowing the resolution to pass. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated Israel’s opposition to a Palestinian state and vowed to demilitarize Gaza by any means necessary.
