One of the oddest UN resolutions in history seeks to solidify shaky Gaza ceasefire into an enduring peace
- UN Security Council approves Resolution 2803 to turn Gaza ceasefire into a lasting peace plan with a multinational framework.
- The plan places Trump in charge of Gaza with a ‘board of peace’ and a multinational peacekeeping force for two years.
- The resolution authorizes an International Stabilisation Force and a local police presence to demilitarize Gaza, though troop composition is unclear.
- Palestinian self-determination is mentioned conditionally, tied to reforms and rebuilding progress in Gaza.
- European diplomats view the wording as a victory for mentioning Palestinian self-determination, even with caveats.
- US envoy Mike Waltz described the resolution as transformative amid broader international reaction.
- Russia and China abstained as the vote passed 13-0, highlighting a cautious international stance.
- Critics warn that implementing the plan could spark clashes and requires broad international coordination.
- The resolution references humanitarian assistance alongside geopolitical maneuvering in the Gaza context.
- The plan envisions Arab and Islamic states participating in the ISF to deter unilateral Israeli moves.
