UNITED NATIONS – International: A draft resolution circulated by the United States aims to establish a two‑year multinational stabilisation force in Gaza, under the leadership of a newly formed Board of Peace chaired by the U.S. President.
The initiative proposes a sweeping mandate that not only addresses security and disarmament of armed groups, but also outlines major reconstruction objectives—including a designated trust fund, oversight by international financial institutions, and integration of President Trump’s 20‑point peace plan.
Despite its ambitious framework, internal U.S. diplomatic memoranda raise deep concerns about feasibility. Officials cite difficulties in securing troop commitments, legal authorities for deployment, governance clarity, funding shortfalls, and securing buy‑in from Gaza’s local authorities. Several Muslim‑majority states emphasise they will not join unless the force transcends a front‑line posture for Israel’s military interests.
As the UN Security Council prepares to vote, the international community faces a critical test of whether the force can move beyond concept to execution—without sidelining the principles it claims to uphold.
