The United States is set to present a draft United Nations Security Council (UNSC) resolution on President Donald Trump’s peace plan for Gaza to the council’s 10 elected members, according to a U.S. official. The move marks a key step in formalizing international support for the plan, which aims to end years of conflict between Israel and Hamas. Representatives from Egypt, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates will reportedly join discussions, reflecting strong regional endorsement of Washington’s initiative.
The proposed resolution seeks a two-year mandate to establish a Gaza transitional governance body and an International Stabilization Force (ISF) to oversee security and reconstruction efforts in the war-torn enclave. The ISF would be empowered to “use all necessary measures” — diplomatic code for the use of force — to fulfill its mission of maintaining stability and supporting the peace transition process.
A month earlier, Israel and Hamas agreed to the first phase of Trump’s 20-point Gaza peace framework, which included a ceasefire and the release of hostages. The next phase envisions rebuilding infrastructure, restoring essential services, and preparing for long-term governance reforms.
For the resolution to pass, it must receive at least nine affirmative votes and avoid vetoes from any of the five permanent Security Council members — the U.S., Russia, China, Britain, or France. It remains uncertain whether Russia and China have been briefed on the final draft.
The U.S.-led plan underscores a renewed effort to stabilize Gaza through international cooperation, blending political transition with regional support to promote a lasting peace. The outcome of the Security Council deliberations could determine whether this ambitious initiative gains the legitimacy needed to move forward.
