UN Security Council passes US resolution backing international Gaza force

The United Nations Security Council has approved a resolution mandating a transitional administration and an International Stabilisation Force in Gaza that envisions a “credible pathway” to Palestinian statehood.
The resolution, drafted by the United States as part of President Donald Trump’s 20-point peace plan, passed in a 13-0 vote on Monday, paving the way for the crucial next steps for the fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. Russia and China abstained from the vote.
Arab and other Muslim countries that expressed interest in providing troops for an international force had previously indicated that a UN mandate was essential for their participation. At their behest, the US had included more defined language about Palestinian self-determination in the draft to get it over the finish line.

Al Jazeera’s Gabriel Elizondo reports from the United Nations.
Daniel Forti is a senior U-N analyst with the International Crisis Group.
He says there needs to be a credible process for the creation of the International Stabilisation Force.
