Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday praised the U.N. Security Council’s adoption of the Trump administration’s plan to stabilize and govern Gaza, while Hamas dismissed the move as an external attempt to control Palestinian territory.

The U.S.-backed resolution, passed Monday, authorizes an international stabilization force to secure Gaza, supervise borders, and oversee demilitarization after two years of devastating conflict. It also establishes a transitional body — the “Board of Peace” — under the oversight of President Donald Trump and outlines a potential path toward future Palestinian statehood. The mandate for both the force and the board runs through 2027.

Netanyahu said the proposal would bring “peace and prosperity,” stressing its emphasis on disarmament and deradicalization.

Hamas, however, rejected the plan, saying the force’s mandate to disarm non-state groups makes it biased in Israel’s favor. It argued the resolution fails to address Palestinian rights and insisted that any foreign troops must work under full U.N. authority and remain limited to border monitoring.

The Palestinian Authority welcomed the resolution after language referencing Palestinian self-determination was strengthened. It said it is prepared to begin immediate implementation alongside the U.S., U.N. and regional partners.

The U.S. revised the proposal following negotiations with Arab states, adding that reforms within the PA and progress in Gaza reconstruction could create conditions for a credible route to statehood. Washington also committed to launching dialogue between Israel and the Palestinians.

A breakthrough in securing Arab and Muslim-majority support — including from Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the UAE, Indonesia, Pakistan, Jordan and Turkey — proved decisive for the resolution’s passage.

The plan envisions international troops securing Gaza’s borders, coordinating with Palestinian police, and facilitating humanitarian assistance. Israeli forces would then withdraw according to benchmarks tied to demilitarization, to be agreed upon by Israel, the stabilization force, the U.S. and ceasefire guarantors.
