US Pushes UN Resolution to Support Trump’s Gaza Peace Plan
UNITED NATIONS: The United States on Wednesday introduced a draft resolution at the UN Security Council seeking international support for President Donald Trump’s Gaza peace plan, including the creation of a multinational security force to oversee stability in the region.
Washington Seeks Global Backing for Gaza Initiative
According to Washington’s UN mission, the draft resolution was circulated among partner nations to encourage coordinated action and long-term peace in the war-torn enclave. The proposal outlines provisions for deploying an international peacekeeping contingent to ensure post-conflict security and facilitate humanitarian access in Gaza.
US diplomats described the move as a “pragmatic step” toward sustainable peace, emphasizing that the mission would operate under UN oversight and in close cooperation with regional stakeholders.
Focus on Stability and Humanitarian Support
In the proposed framework, the international security force would be tasked with maintaining ceasefire compliance, protecting civilians, and securing aid corridors. Washington has urged member states to support a resolution that prioritizes both security and reconstruction efforts in Gaza.
A senior US official said the plan aims to “turn the ceasefire into a foundation for enduring peace.” The resolution also encourages financial and logistical assistance from member nations willing to contribute to peacekeeping operations or humanitarian programs.
Mixed Response Within the Security Council
While several Western allies expressed cautious optimism, diplomatic sources said some member states requested further clarification on the scope, mandate, and duration of the proposed security force. China and Russia reportedly called for broader regional consultation before any final decision.
Observers noted that the US move comes amid heightened tensions and a fragile truce in Gaza, following months of violence that displaced thousands. Analysts believe Washington’s initiative could redefine its role in Middle East diplomacy, marking a shift from military engagement to multilateral peacebuilding.
Path Toward Negotiation and Implementation
If approved, the resolution would authorize the deployment of peacekeeping forces under UN supervision, potentially including troops from neutral or regional countries. The mission’s objectives would focus on ceasefire monitoring, reconstruction coordination, and political dialogue facilitation between Palestinian and Israeli representatives.
Diplomats expect closed-door negotiations on the text to continue in the coming days. The United States, meanwhile, has signaled willingness to amend the resolution to accommodate member state concerns, underscoring its commitment to achieving consensus.
A Test of Global Consensus
Analysts view this resolution as a crucial test of international unity over the Gaza crisis and a measure of Washington’s diplomatic influence at the UN. If passed, it could represent one of the most significant Security Council initiatives in years aimed at stabilizing the region.
