The UN Security Council has approved a US-sponsored resolution supporting a Trump administration peace framework for Gaza, with 13 members voting in favor while China and Russia abstained. The measure establishes a Board of Peace to oversee temporary governance and reconstruction until Palestinian Authority reforms are complete, and authorizes the creation of an International Stabilization Force empowered to use necessary measures under international law.
Israeli Defense Forces will withdraw as the stabilization force secures the territory and coordinates demilitarization efforts with participating nations, Egypt and Israel. Hamas has released all surviving hostages and most remains of deceased captives, while Israel freed 2,000 Palestinian detainees under the terms of the ceasefire that began implementation in October.
Tensions persist as both parties accuse each other of agreement violations, including the death of a Palestinian journalist in post-ceasefire violence and continued Israeli restrictions on humanitarian deliveries. Critics argue the Chapter VII resolution inappropriately applies enforcement mechanisms to a conflict better addressed through diplomatic channels.
