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 US President Donald Trump and envisions a possible future path to an independent Palestinian state.

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 American 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.
