The UK Security Council approves a US plan for a Gaza stabilization force

The U.N. Security Council has approved a U.S. plan for a stabilization force in Gaza, aiming to provide security and pave the way for a possible independent Palestinian state. The resolution passed with a 13-0 vote, with Russia and China abstaining.

Key features include the authorization for a stabilization force to oversee borders, security, and demilitarization in Gaza. U.S. Ambassador Mike Waltz hailed the resolution as "historic and constructive."

While the resolution supports President Trump's ceasefire plan, it lacks a specific timeline for Palestinian statehood, only suggesting it could be possible after advancements in Gaza’s reconstruction and Palestinian Authority reforms.
