The United Nations Security Council approved this Monday the resolution inspired by the peace plan for Gaza promoted by the president of the United States, Donald Trump, with thirteen votes in favor and the abstentions of Russia and China.
The resolution, along with the original twenty-point U.S. plan, calls for the establishment of an International Strip Security Force (ISF) that will operate until at least December 2027.
This force will have the mission of protecting Gaza’s borders with Israel and Egypt. It will also have to protect civilians and humanitarian corridors inside the Strip, as well as train a future Palestinian police force.
In a brief speech after the vote, the US ambassador to the UN, Michael Waltz, welcomed the resolution, which he described as a “significant step towards a stable Gaza”.
