The UN Security Council supports the Gaza peace plan promoted by US President Trump through a resolution. This, among other things, provides international military strength to stabilize the ceasefire.
The UN Security Council has passed a resolution to protect US President Donald Trump’s Gaza peace plan. Of the total 15 members, 13 members supported the resolution, which among other things regulates the strength of international troops to stabilize the ceasefire. The possibility of a future Palestinian state is also mentioned in the draft.
The draft resolution was introduced by the United States and several other countries, including mediators Gaza, Qatar and Egypt. The US welcomed the results of the vote as “historic and constructive”. Russia and China abstained from the vote.
There are still many things that are up for debate
Recently, the G7 countries, among others, have campaigned for the Gaza Strip peace plan to be immediately secured through a UN Security Council mandate. In the second stage, in addition to the disarmament of the Hamas terrorist organization, this also includes a transitional government consisting of Palestinian technocrats.
However, there is still much that is up for debate – including disarmament, the full withdrawal of Israeli troops from the territory and the future of the Gaza Strip. There were critical voices from Israel before the resolution was passed because it spoke of a “credible path to Palestinian self-determination and statehood.”
The resolution is in danger of failing
The US aggressively pushed for the resolution to be passed. The paper is a “lifeline” for the region and a delay would cost lives, US Ambassador Mike Waltz said at the meeting.
For a long time, it looked like the resolution would fail. Russia and China, among others – both of whom have veto powers in the Security Council – have expressed their dissatisfaction. Russia even introduced its own draft resolution, but it was not put to a vote.
The adoption of the resolution is therefore a success for the committee, which has repeatedly demonstrated its strongly divergent stance on this issue in recent years.
