UN Approves U.S. Gaza Plan, Hamas Rejects It

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised the United Nations’ endorsement of the Trump administration’s plan to stabilize Gaza, while Hamas rejected it, calling it biased. The U.N. Security Council resolution authorizes an international stabilization force to maintain security, oversees a transitional authority called the Board of Peace under U.S. supervision, and outlines a potential pathway to Palestinian statehood.

The plan calls for full demilitarization, disarmament, and deradicalization of Gaza. Hamas criticized the force’s disarmament mandate as compromising neutrality and demanded that international troops remain under U.N. supervision at Gaza’s borders. Meanwhile, the Palestinian Authority welcomed the resolution and pledged cooperation with the U.S., U.N., and other nations.

Support from Arab and Muslim-majority countries, including Turkey, Indonesia, Egypt, and Qatar, helped secure adoption of the resolution. The measure aims to reinforce Gaza’s fragile ceasefire following the October 7 Hamas attack on southern Israel, which triggered a war that has killed thousands on both sides.
