US Pushes for UN Authorization of Gaza Force
The United States is seeking authorization from the United Nations Security Council to establish an international peacekeeping force in Gaza. The proposed force would operate through 2027, according to a plan developed during the Trump administration.
Details of the Trump-Era 20-Point Plan
The initiative, part of a broader 20-point strategy formulated under former President Donald Trump, aims to stabilize Gaza by deploying an international force. The US government is advocating for the force’s deployment to begin by January 2025, with a mandate lasting through the end of 2027.
International Implications and Security Council Role
The move requires approval from the UN Security Council, where the US is actively lobbying for support. The international force would represent a significant diplomatic effort to address ongoing tensions and security concerns in the Gaza region.
Next Steps and Potential Challenges
If authorized, the deployment would mark a major international intervention in Gaza. The timeline set by the US reflects a long-term commitment to peacekeeping efforts in the area. However, the plan’s success depends on consensus within the Security Council and cooperation from regional stakeholders.
