United Nations, New York — November 18, 2025:
The UN Security Council has approved a US-backed resolution supporting former President Donald Trump’s Gaza peace plan, marking a significant diplomatic development in the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict. The resolution outlines a phased ceasefire pathway and calls for the deployment of an international stabilization force to oversee humanitarian access and security arrangements inside Gaza.
The measure passed with strong backing from Washington’s allies, reflecting renewed global interest in a structured political solution. The resolution encourages immediate de-escalation, restoration of essential services, and coordinated humanitarian relief.
US officials said the plan aims to “create enforceable conditions for long-term stability,” including security guarantees for Israel and political benchmarks for Palestinian authorities. The document also pushes for regional cooperation and a revived negotiation track under UN supervision.
Some member states expressed reservations, warning that the plan must be acceptable to all parties to ensure implementation. However, diplomats noted that the vote signals a notable shift in international engagement with the Gaza crisis.
Israel welcomed the development as a step toward restoring security, while Palestinian representatives criticized the proposal as being influenced heavily by US strategic priorities. Discussions on the operational details of the international force are expected in upcoming UNSC sessions.
