US President Donald Trump administration’s blueprint to secure and govern Gaza won strong approval at the United Nations on Monday, a crucial step that provides international support for US efforts to move the devastated territory toward peace following two years of war.

The US resolution that passed the UN Security Council authorizes an international stabilization force to provide security in Gaza, approves a transitional authority to be overseen by Trump and envisions a possible future path to an independent Palestinian state.

Danny Danon, the Israeli ambassador to the UN said the plan includes "an explicit statement about disarming Hamas".

“As we are determined to return all the hostages home, we will demonstrate the same determination and make sure that Hamas is dismantled of its weapon. We will not stop and we will not be silent until Hamas no longer poses a threat to the State of Israel,” he said.

The vote endorses Trump’s 20-point ceasefire plan and builds on the momentum of the fragile ceasefire he helped broker with allies.

It marks a key next step for US efforts to outline Gaza’s future after the Israel-Hamas war destroyed much of the territory and killed tens of thousands of people.

The proposal calls for a yet-to-be-established Board of Peace as a transitional authority that Trump would head.

It also provides a wide mandate for the international stabilization force, including overseeing the borders, providing security and demilitarizing the territory.

Authorization for the board and force expire at the end of 2027.
