UN Security Council Endorses Gaza Peace Plan
The United Nations Security Council has unanimously adopted a resolution supporting a peace plan aimed at ending the ongoing conflict in Gaza. The resolution is based on a 20-point proposal put forward by former US President Donald Trump.
Key Elements of the Resolution
The resolution calls for an immediate cessation of hostilities in Gaza and outlines measures to stabilize the region. A central feature of the plan is the establishment of an international stabilization force tasked with maintaining peace and security during the transition period.
Context and Statements
The peace plan follows heightened international concern over the humanitarian situation in Gaza. US Representative Mike Waltz described the territory as "hell on earth," underscoring the urgency of resolving the conflict. The Security Council's unanimous vote reflects broad international support for the US-backed initiative.
Next Steps
With the resolution now adopted, member states are expected to coordinate efforts to deploy the stabilization force and facilitate the implementation of the peace plan. The UN will likely play a significant role in monitoring compliance and supporting reconstruction efforts in Gaza.
